  1. Slice two pieces of sourdough bread about 1 inch thick.
  2. On one slice, layer three slices of sharp cheddar cheese and then add ½ cup of well-drained kimchi.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly on the outer sides of both slices of bread.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
