  • 1
    cup Mother In Law's Kimchi (any), coarsely chopped

    Place the kimchi on top of the cheese, top with the remaining toasty bread slices and cook for 1 minute more, or until the cheese is completely melted and the bread is toasted golden brown.

    Remove from the pan and cut each sandwich in half for easier handling. If working in batches, repeat with the remaining ingredients.
