Real California Cheddar Jack cheese pairs fantastically with kimchi in these unique and very cheesy Kimchi Quesadillas. This popular recipe comes to us via renowned Los Angeles chef Roy Choi.
In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add kimchi; cook until caramelized and charred. Cool kimchi and chop roughly. (Yield: 6 cups)
For each serving, to order, heat a sauté pan or griddle over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon oil. Place 1 tortilla on pan; spread 1 cup cheese evenly on one half. Cover cheese with 1/4 cup kimchi; sprinkle with 2 sesame leaves, torn, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Fold over other half of tortilla to make a half circle. Cook until browned on the bottom, flip and continue cooking until browned and blistered on both sides.
