Ingredients
- Kimchi · chopped2 cups
- Bacon · chopped6 slices
- Brown sugar2 tbsp
- Black pepperto taste
- Sourdough bread · sliced8 pieces
- American cheese8 slices
- Gruyère cheese8 slices
- Butter8 tbsp
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat has rendered. Add the kimchi and brown sugar and pan-fry, leaving it undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so it dries and caramelises a little. Season with black pepper, transfer to a bowl and wipe the pan clean.
- Build each sandwich: a slice of sourdough, two slices of Gruyère, the kimchi mixture, two slices of American cheese, then a second slice of sourdough. Spread butter or mayo on the outside of both slices.
- Heat the same pan over medium heat, add the sandwich and cook for a few minutes per side until golden brown. Cut and serve.
