This crispy, gooey, spicy, and utterly indulgent comfort food requires just a few things: a strong, sharp cheddar to play off the tangy kimchi (make your own if you’re feeling ambitious!); the patience to let the cheese fully melt over moderate heat; and, most importantly, a fast and confident flip. Consider any crispy shards of cheese that get stuck to the pan the chef’s treat. —Diana Yen
