Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Kimchi Grilled Cheese
  1. Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of thick bread.
  2. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a clean surface. Layer the sliced cheese evenly over the bread, then add kimchi on top.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 175°C (350°F). Once heated, place the sandwich into the air fryer basket and cook for about 8 minutes.
  4. Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute. Slice in half and serve immediately with pickles or a light salad.
