2 tsp. Sesame Seeds

Instructions

To Make the Sumo Citrus-Garlic Butter:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a fork until very well combined. Set aside.

To Make the Kimchi Grilled Cheese:

Slather both outside pieces of the bread with the Sumo Citrus-garlic butter.
Squeeze as much liquid out from the kimchi as possible.
Layer the inside of one slice with half the freshly grated cheeses, the kimchi, then the remaining half of the grated cheeses.

Drizzle with a little honey and freshly chopped basil. Add the top layer of bread.
Add to a heated griddle or skillet over medium high heat to cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden.
Use a cast iron burger smasher or small pot lid to gently press down on the sandwich as it cooks to help the cheese melt.

Enjoy!
