Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Blend

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, and fontina cheeses. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a layer of cabbage kimchi on one slice of sourdough bread. Top with a generous portion of the cheese blend. Place the second slice of bread on top.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish

    Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwich, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
