Description

At the Toastie Lab there is no such thing as too cheesy. There is such a thing as a superduper, delicious, semi-healthy, easy, crispy, flavorful, mouth-watering, did I say delicious already? KIMCHI TOASTIE. OMG. Did we tell you about the spicy kimchi mayonnaise on the side, yet? Yeah, you’ll enjoy this one 🙂

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of multigrain bread
  • 100 grams of kimchi, drained, liquid stored separately
  • cheese, the more aged the better. 
  • 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
  • butter

Instructions

  1. First, strain the kimchi thoroughly. You can do this by putting the kimchi in a sif and pressing the juice out of it. Make sure you do this right, because your toastie will drown if it there’s too much liquid left. For real, it will fall apart and ruin your lunch. No, not really, kimcheesy will never ruin anything. Never. Don’t throw out the liquid. We’ll use this later to make the kimchi mayonnaise.
  2. Take your favorite toastie bread and butter the outsides. Flip over.
  3. Add two slices of cheese on the bottom slice of bread. More is perfectly acceptable, too. Two is just the bare minimum 😉
  4. On top of the cheese, add some of the strained kimchi.
  5. Feeling cheesy? Add an extra slice of cheese on top of the kimchi. Then, put the second slice of bread on top of all that, press gently and head over to your toastie-maker.
  6. Put the toastie in the (pre-heated) toastie-iron. We prefer the grill because it keeps the bread together a little better without pressing any of the extra juice into the bread.
  7. Kimchi mayonnaise! While the toastie is doing it’s thing, you can prepare the kimchi mayonnaise. Remember the liquid that we kept apart? Take a tablespoon of mayonnaise and add a drop of the liquid to it. Stir, and ta-dah! Ready is your dipping sauce. If you use too much of the liquid, the sauce will turn very thin. This can actually be a good thing if you like your sauce to have a little more spice to it, but keep in mind that it won’t “dip” as nicely as a thicker sauce will do.
  8. After 5 minutes on the grill, the toastie should be ready. Take out carefully and put the toastie on a cutting board. Cut diagonally and enjoy!!!
