When it comes to comfort food, nothing quite hits the spot like a classic grilled cheese sandwich. But what if I were to tell you that there's a way to make this classic, delicious sandwich even better? Introducing my Viral Kimchi Grilled Cheese- a delicious fusion of two beloved foods that will leave your taste buds dancing. It's tangy, it's spicy, it's cheesy; I truly can't get enough of it, and I know you will, too!

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer I absolutely love this one and use it daily in my kitchen!

Ingredients

  • 2 Slices Sourdough Bread
  • 3 Slices Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup Kimchi
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter or Vegan Butter melted

Instructions

  • Start by slicing off two slices of bread and place them on a cutting board.
  • Then, top one half of the bread with slices of cheddar cheese and a heaping spoonful of kimchi. Place the second piece of bread on top to form your sandwich.
  • Next, melt your butter in a small dish in the microwave for 30-seconds, then brush the melted butter onto each slice of bread.
  • Finally, place your grilled cheese into the basket of an air fryer and air fry at 400F for 10 minutes, being sure to flip your sandwich at the 5 minute mark so that the sandwich cooks evenly. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can heat a pan, on the stove, over medium-high heat and cook your sandwich until it’s golden brown.
  • Once done, cut your sandwich in half, serve, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in a sandwich bag, in the fridge, for up to three days, and reheat before eating.
