Ingredients

Method

In skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, turning halfway through cooking time, until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 tbsp fat from skillet.

In same skillet, add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

Brush 4 slices of bread with Garlic Sauce; top each with 1 slice of Cheddar, one-quarter of the reserved onions, and 2 of the bacon slices. On remaining brioche slices, place 1 slice of provolone and 1/4 cup of the kimchi. Carefully close sandwiches. Lightly butter each sandwich on both sides.

In large skillet over medium heat, cook sandwiches, two at a time, turning halfway through cooking time, until brioche is browned, 4 to 6 minutes.

Garlic Sauce
In bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 1 cup.
