Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Lay out half the bread slices on a clean work surface. Divide scallions, sliced white cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, and as much gochujang as you like (we used a little less than a packet per sandwich) between bread. Close each sandwich with remaining bread. Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and push around in pan until melted butter has absorbed. Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is slightly melted, 4-6 minutes. Add another 1 TBSP butter to pan, then flip sandwiches and push around again until melted butter has absorbed. Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, 4-6 minutes. Halve each sandwich on a diagonal and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: The gochujang added a subtle kick, though some found it less noticeable than expected. A few suggested pairing with a different cheese.
- Ease of prep: Quick to make, but some had trouble keeping shredded cheese in place while assembling. Consider using all sliced cheese instead.
- Suggestions: Add more cheese for better coverage. Try garlic butter or a dipping sauce to enhance flavor and moisture 🍲.
- Portions: Several mentioned not having enough cheese for two full sandwiches. Consider using extra slices for more generous portions.
Reviews from our home cooks
Surprisingly, no gochujang was not very noticeable, although I used the full amount. All sliced cheese would be better; the shredded cheese was difficult to keep in place while assembling and transferring to pan.
Quick and tasty but it would've tasted better with a different cheese. I think the gochujang and the cheddar were competing too much.
Pretty good! I personally would have liked a little more gochujang, but maybe a garlic butter would make this stand out more.
Good flavor but kind of dry. Would have benefitted from some sort of dipping sauce on the side. Also, nowhere near enough cheese for two sandwiches.
Not enough cheese for how big the bread is, only made enough for 1 sandwich
I wish there was just like one or two more flavor components. As is, it's more or less a spicy ketchup cheese sandwich. :/ has potential!
Way better than expected! We want to see it BACK on the menu! Loved it!
