Cheesy French Toast With Kimchi Recipe (2024)

Couldn’t you dip 1 slice of bread into the scrambled eggs and place in the hot pan. Top with cheese kimchi mix . Top with the second slice that’s also been dipped. Seems like it might be a little less messy than trying to keep the grated cheese mix in the sandwich while dipping and flipping..Sounds so good- I’m trying it for lunch tomorrow.

Instead of flipping the assembled sandwich over to dip the other side in the egg mixture, why not just dip the second slice of the bread into the egg mixture, and set it on top, and then move the whole sandwich to your skillet?

Yum! I forgot completely about the green onions, which I was saving for enchiladas tomorrow anyway. I used Manchego cheese, and 2-3 minutes is absolutely not enough time on each side over low heat with a cover—try 3-5. I make all sorts of grilled cheese, long and slow is the rule.

Made exactly as written by weight but doubled for two. Egg dipping is not as tricky as comments are making it out to be - just flip with a spatula following the instructions and you’re good. Easy, quick, and different. Will make again, probably w more cheese next time (maybe up to twice as much)

Restaurant trick with grilled cheese and quesadillas to make sure the cheese is melted. Heat them up before grilling. At a restaurant they are kept wrapped in foil in a low oven. At home you can simple put in the microwave for 30 seconds before grilling.

I solve the cheese melt problem by making grilling the bread first and then dropping grated cheese directly in the pan for a few moments as it cools. Mop up the melted goo with one slice of the bread. Go to is grated parmesan straight from freezer with softer refrigerated cheese on top. Must use non-stick plan.

Hubby approved! I also (like other commenters) dipped the bread into the egg mixture, placed it in the skillet, spooned the kimchi mixture on top, and then placed the other dipped bread on top of that. Worked great!

We enjoyed this a lot. I used milk and salt instead of soy sauce and a kind of cheddar-American hybrid that melts well. I used only about 3/4s of the kimchi because my bread was narrow and long. Next time will definitely use a flat regular shaped sandwich loaf. I also dipped both side, cooked the insides first and then flipped and built the sandwiches in the pan. The heated insides I think helped the cheese melt.

I mean, if you're starting with grated cheese, okay, combine with the kimchi. Otherwise, what is the logic behind tearing up sliced cheese to then mix with the kimchi? Especially if you decide to finish sandwich construction in the skillet, it should be perfectly fine to just spread the kimchi on the sliced cheese, add another slice on top of the kimchi and proceed with the second slice of soaked bread.Sometimes, these professional chefs overcomplicate things for busy home cooks.

Unique, but not French toast. The assembly is more akin to a croque monsieur. In my preparation the kimchi just dominated any other flavors and negated the value of adding egg, scallion, or brioche. I may try regular French toast with a side of kimchi for a breakfast dish.

When I make any variety of stuffed french toast, I use a firm, unsliced bread. I cut a double-wide slice and make a slit in the crust on one side, then slide whatever I want in the middle, soak it in the egg mixture, flip it, soak it on the other side, then fry it. If I have any leftover egg, I drizzle it onto the slices while the first side cooks. Works great. My favorite stuffing is Cambozola cheese and thinly sliced apple. Then spread some Davina Fig and Orange Spread and enjoy.

Absolutely divine! Simple and tasty. Would be great to dip this in sundubu.

Very good Sunday Breakfast! pairs well with a bowl and a co*ke zero.

So good pairs well w a stizzy and a co*ke zero

When I saw the photo, I thought those were sliced jalapeños rather than onions. I realized my mistake, but still used pickled jalapeños. Amazingly good!

Really good with leftover challah and fresh-grated cheddar cheese. Agree with long and slow cooking to get full melt and browning.

Good weekend breakfast.

Easy to make (easier to flip than described) but I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. Too eggy

Delicious, doubled for two! Made quick mock kimchi with German sauerkraut and kimchi spice paste mix. Cooked on12" CI pan pressing down with CI grill press rather than cover. Poured leftover batter on sandwich. What went on the pan added a lovely crunchy taste. Came together very quickly.

Delicious. Made as written x2, and served with a green salad for dinner. Will definitely make again - my partner approved. Dipping & flipping was no trouble at all.

This was great. I added some artichoke spread to the cheese and kimchi to make it more of a paste.
