Kimchi Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 slices sandwich bread
• 1.8 ounces (50 grams) comté cheese, sliced with a vegetable peeler
• 2.1 ounces (60 grams) kimchi, squeezed well
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. 1
   Use a pastry brush to evenly brush the olive oil onto one side of both slices of bread, making sure to get the edges around the crust as well.
2. 2
   Flip one slice of bread over (to expose the un-oiled side) and then spread half the cheese on the bread.
3. 3
   Top with the squeezed kimchi and scallion, and then cover with the remaining cheese.
4. 4
   Place the other piece of bread on top to make a sandwich, with the oiled side facing outwards.
5. 5
   Put the sandwich in a heavy bottomed frying pan and then stick another very heavy frying pan (like a cast iron skillet) on top to press the sandwich down.
6. 6
   Turn on the stove to medium, and let the sandwich fry until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
7. 7
   Remove the weight, flip the sandwich over and then put the weight back on. Fry until the second side is golden brown.
8. 8
   Slice in half and serve immediately.
