Ingredients

  • 2 slicesbread (either soft sandwich bread or large rustic slices, not more than 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoonmayonnaise
  • 1/2 cupgrated mozzarella cheese (or other mild, semifirm cheese like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack)
  • 1/4 cupkimchi (drained and coarsely chopped)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low. Thinly spread 1 side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Place the bread, mayonnaise side down, in the skillet and divide the mozzarella evenly over the slices.

  2. 2

    When the cheese has just melted (6 to 10 minutes), add the kimchi to one side. Use a spatula to top with the other slice of bread, cheese side down. Press to meld, and let cook, covered, flipping as needed to prevent burning, until the bread is crusty-brown and sandwich is warmed through (2 to 4 minutes).
