Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cabbage kimchi drained, squeezed dry and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 slices milk bread about 1/2 inch thick
  • 5 oz young Gouda thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise

Method
 

  1. Heat sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add squeezed chopped kimchi and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until no free liquid remains. Transfer to a plate for 2 minutes.
  2. Divide half the Gouda over 2 bread slices, spread cooked kimchi evenly over it and add remaining cheese. Close with the other bread slices.
  3. Spread mayonnaise thinly over the outside faces. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  4. Cook sandwiches for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and the Gouda is fully melted, covering for 2 minutes after turning if the center needs help warming.
  5. Rest for 1 minute, cut in half and serve.
