Kimchi is a spicy, fermented cabbage that is full of probiotics and is a staple in most Korean households. Eaten alone, it is so spicy that it will almost take your breath away. However, when combined with the eggs and cheese in this recipe, it is so toned down that you may not even taste the heat. It's a great way to eat kimchi and reap it's benefits, without searing your tastebuds!

(*NOTE: The ingredients in commercial kimchis may vary. I prefer the brands that use dried shrimp paste or fish sauce. If unavailable, I always add 1 or 2 teaspoons of fish sauce to the jar.)
