Kimchi Grilled Cheese

Recipe

Grilled cheese is already a pretty much perfect food. Crispy bread, gooey cheese - how could it get any better than that?? Well, this kimchi grilled cheese might just be the upgrade of the century. By toasting the bread with Kewpie mayo and a little bit of tangy kimchi to your sandwich, you create something that tastes almost too good to be true. Feel free to use your favorite cheese and bread, but we love the creamy, melty texture that cheddar and gouda add.
