Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups kimchi, chopped
- 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 butter or mayo
Instructions
- 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.
