Kimcheeze Toastie

Course Only Video
A golden, gooey toastie where melted cheese meets spicy leek-chi, comfort food with serious gut-loving credentials.
This Kimcheeze Toastie is proof that fermented foods don’t have to be fussy to be powerful. It’s crispy on the outside, gloriously melty in the middle, and packed with that unmistakable kimchi tang that cuts through the richness of the cheese in all the right ways.
Part of the Gut Instinct approach, this is a “ferment to finish” favourite, the kind of recipe you make when you want something fast, deeply satisfying, and still supportive of your gut. Perfect for lunch, late-night cravings, or when the fridge feels empty but there’s a jar of leek-chi (or kimchi) calling your name.

Alternatively use a sandwich press, but I personally love a toastie to be well, toastie!
