Kimchi Grilled Cheese
This kimchi grilled cheese is everything you love about a classic grilled cheese with an extra layer of bold, tangy flavor. Kimchi adds just the right amount of spice and acidity. The easiest way to make it is in the air fryer, which gives you crispy bread and melted, gooey cheese—without having to flip the sandwich.
