Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by slicing two pieces of sourdough bread into about 1-inch thick slices.
On one slice of sourdough, layer three slices of cheddar cheese evenly to cover the bread. Next, add a generous heap of kimchi on top of the cheese.
Spread melted butter generously on the outer sides of both slices of sourdough.
Place the sandwich in an air fryer set to 400°F for approximately 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once cooked, remove the sandwich and let it rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
