KIMCHI GRILLED CHEESE

Spicy heat plays well with melty cheese (think: queso dip, stuffed jalapeños, Buffalo wings and blue cheese). Here, kimchi and mozzarella cheese come together for a twist on the classic grilled cheese. Mildly flavored mozzarella is an especially good choice in this recipe because it lets the kimchi shine, but you could also add 1/4 cup of grated Cheddar, Monterey Jack or even pepper Jack for more kick. If you have grilled steak, roasted vegetables or practically any other savory leftover in your fridge, chop it up and add about 1/4 cup to your sandwich along with the kimchi. Smearing mayonnaise on the bread, instead of butter, might sound weird, but it won't burn as quickly as butter, allowing the cheese ample time to melt, and the bread to toast up to golden perfection.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 slices bread, either soft sandwich bread or large rustic slices, not more than 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated mozzarella, Cheddar or other mild, semifirm cheese
1/4 cup drained and coarsely chopped kimchi

Steps:

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Thinly spread 1 side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Place the bread, mayonnaise-side-down, in the skillet and divide the mozzarella evenly over the slices.
When the cheese has just melted (no individual shreds of cheese remain), 6 to 10 minutes, add the kimchi to one side. Use a spatula to top with the other slice of bread, cheese-side-down. Press with the spatula to meld, then let cook, covered, flipping as needed to prevent burning, until the bread is crusty-brown and the sandwich is warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.

ENGLISH PASTRY PINWHEELS WITH CHEESE AND ONION

English Pastry Pinwheels With Cheese and Onion image

These are excellent as an appetizer or for potlucks/ buffets. They are lovely straight from the oven but are also good cold. I include mashed potato to give them a creamy texture but they can be made with just cheese and onion as a filling.

Time 38m

Yield 15 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 half pound sheet puff pastry
1 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup grated cheese
butter, for frying the onions, if required

Steps:

Fry the onions until soft and cooked.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Lay out the puff pastry sheet.
Spread the mashed potato over the pastry, leaving a half inch gap at one end (if you have a rectangular sheet of pastry, leave the gap along one of the longer sides). This will allow the pastry to seal once rolled and stop the filling overflowing.
Spread the onions and cheese over the mashed potato, again leaving a gap.
Roll the pastry tightly towards the end with a gap in the filling.
Dampen with water the pastry where you have left a gap and use this part to seal the end to the roll.
Cut into 3/4 inch pinwheels and bake on a tray in the oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked and the cheese golden.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

For a crispier spring onion pancake, use a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat.
If the filling is too thick, add a little bit of water to thin it out.
Be careful not to overfill the spring onion pancakes, or they will be difficult to fold.

- Bulgogi (Korean grilled beef)
- Kimchi (fermented cabbage)
- Cheese
- Ham
Serve your spring onion pancakes hot with a dipping sauce of your choice. Some popular options include:
- Soy sauce
- Hoisin sauce
