kimchi grilled cheese

Golden brown, pan-fried Kimchi Grilled Cheese is on the menu! Melty cheese with a caramelized kimchi and bacon filling sit between two thick slices of sourdough bread. Yum, friends. YUM! 

Kimchi Grilled Cheese

bacon, chopped

brown sugar

black pepper

sourdough bread

American cheese

Gruyere cheese

(or 1 stick) butter

Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium high heat until crisped and fat is rendered. Add the kimchi to the pan with the brown sugar. Pan fry for a few minutes, leaving it undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so it dries out and gets a little bit caramelized. Season with black pepper. Transfer to a bowl and wipe the pan clean.

Layer your sandwiches: a slice of sourdough, two slices gruyere cheese, kimchi mixture, two slices American cheese, and a second slice of sourdough. Spread butter or mayo over the top and bottom of the sandwich.

Heat the same skillet to medium heat; add the sandwich and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Cut and serve. Magic.

Oh my gosh, delicious, totally sinful, and decadent! Lol. Made this for lunch today for my husband and myself. Definitely a keeper. 😊

Lindsey, this was delious.  Not a combination I would think of but it paired well.  PS - American is the only way to go with grilled cheese.

This was such an indulgent, delicious combination that I would've never thought to try!

thank you for this, a great idea for someone like me trying to get kimchi and similar fermented ingredients into my diet for its health benefits but not necessarily for its taste, I have to work my way up to it in its raw form!

This sandwich is incredible! The sweetness with the salty bacon  and briny, crunchy, spicy kimchi is just out of this world. If you’re wondering what to do with leftover kimchi, throw it in a bowl of ramen

This is an amazing recipe! It was the same feeling when I copied the Mediterranean recipe in misspickle.com.au. I will be trying this recipe soon! Thanks for sharing this!

This was a total hit, even without bacon and just regular ol' mild cheddar. Fun way to make grilled cheese a little fancy and it came together super quick.

Sooo good and so easy! Combines my 3 favorite things for a comfort meal that feels like a hug ( bread, cheese, a little spicy).

Do yourself a favor and make this!  Find your favorite kimchi and go for it!!

Such a great sammy!!

Sooo good! We have made this a few times. I am pescatarian and my husband is not, so we cook the bacon separately from the kimchi and still turns out great! Wonderful recipe for a cozy night in.

I don’t know who’s creative and crazy culinary tastebuds came up with this recipe, but I just finished devouring this indulgently fabulous sandwich. I made it exactly as stated in recipe… Magnificent, to say the least!  Definitely a keeper.

Such an easy meal with a great restaurant style taste. Not in our weekly rotation since it’s not very healthy but my fiancé and I love this on Friday night! We also make the sandwiches in the oven to get it nice and crispy

This was AMAZING. We used Munster and American cheese, since that's what we had on hand, and I added a little gochujang to the kimchi/bacon mix. Definitely a 'keeper' recipe for this house - thank you!

Not that I am surprised in any way, but this was fantastic! I was looking for a grilled cheese to serve with a gochujang tomato soup recipe I found and this was PERFECT. We have yet to try one of your recipes that doesn't become a staple in our house.

SO GOOD! Made this today exactly to the recipe and it was incredible. Dipped it in some tomato basil soup too!
