From the Test Kitchen

These flavorful sandwiches feature a new specialty ingredient, kimchi! This Korean favorite dish of fermented cabbage packs a punch, so it's a perfect match for mild cheese, scallions, and crispy sourdough—all drizzled with a mix of gochujang, honey, and sesame seeds for some more punchy flavor.

Kimchi Grilled Cheese with Spicy Sesame-Honey Drizzle
Title
  • ⅓ cup Kimchi
  • 4 slices Sourdough Pullman Bread
  • 4 oz Shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese Blend

  • 1 tsp Black & White Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tsps Gochujang

step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare the ingredients

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the scallions; thinly slice. Roughly chop the kimchi. In a bowl, combine the honey (kneading the packet before opening), sesame seeds, and as much of the gochujang as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

2 Make the grilled cheese & serve your dish

Assemble the sandwiches using the bread, chopped kimchi, sliced scallions, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the sandwiches; loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board. Carefully halve on an angle. Serve the grilled cheese drizzled with the spicy sesame honey. Enjoy!
