Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups kimchi, chopped (personal preference – you can leave it unchopped too)
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • black pepper to taste
  • 8 pieces of sliced sourdough bread
  • 8 slices of American cheese
  • 8 slices of Gruyere cheese
  • 8 tablespoons (or 1 stick) butter or mayo

Instruction

  • 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.
