Step-by-Step Instructions for Kimchi Grilled Cheese
  1. Begin by generously buttering the outsides of four slices of fresh sourdough bread.
  2. Layer two slices of the buttered sourdough with sharp cheddar cheese, a generous spoonful of kimchi, and gouda cheese.
  3. Place the remaining two slices of sourdough on top, buttered sides facing outwards, and press gently.
  4. Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and place the assembled sandwiches in it.
  5. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and then flip the sandwiches.
  6. After another 5 minutes, ensure both sides are golden and the cheese has melted completely.
  7. Remove from the pan, slice in half, and serve immediately.
