Ingredients

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz creamy havarti shredded on a box grater
  • ½ to 1 cup kimchi room temperature

Instructions

  • Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  • Butter one side of each slice of sourdough. Place the slices buttered-side up in the skillet to toast the 'insides' first. This should take just a minute or so.
  • Flip the bread over and top one slice with 1 oz of shredded havarti and 2 tablespoons (or more) of kimchi. Top with another slice of sourdough. Allow to cook for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook another 2 minutes or until it's toasted to your liking. Remove to a cutting board and cut in half.
