Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add chopped bacon, and cook stirring until crisp and some fat has rendered out.
- Add chopped kimchi and cook for 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally until lightly browned and caramelized. Stir in brown sugar and toasted sesame oil until dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Transfer the bacon kimchi mixture to a bowl then clean the pan to make the grilled cheese.
- Place the bread slices on a cutting board and spread mayo on the outside of the slices. Combine the shredded cheddar and shredded mozzarella together.
- Flip one slice of bread so the mayo side faces down, then top with 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Top with the bacon kimchi mixture, then top with the remaining 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese, mayo side out.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat, then spread the butter evenly in the pan. Place the sandwich in the pan, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp. Flip and cover again, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is browned and the cheese is melty.
- Slice, and enjoy!
