Ramen Grilled Cheese Twist (Print version)

Crispy ramen noodle buns stuffed with melted cheese make a fun, flavorful snack or lunch.

# What You'll Need:

→ Ramen Buns

01 - 2 packs (3 oz each) instant ramen noodles, seasoning discarded
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

→ Cheese Filling

05 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 g)
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 g)

→ For Cooking

07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or neutral oil

# Directions:

01 - Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes until tender according to package directions; drain thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with black pepper and garlic powder, then mix in the cooked ramen noodles until evenly coated.
03 - Separate the noodle mixture into four equal portions; press each portion firmly into a round patty approximately the size of a burger bun, using hands or a ring mold lined with plastic wrap for uniform shape.
04 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil; cook each patty for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
05 - Place half of the cheese mixture on one ramen patty, then top with another patty; press gently to sandwich the filling.
06 - Wipe the skillet clean, add more butter or oil, and cook the assembled sandwiches over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until cheese melts and buns are crisp and golden.
07 - Slice sandwiches and serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crispy noodle exterior gives you that perfect crunch in every single bite
  • Its the ultimate comfort food mashup nobody saw coming but everyone understands
02 -
  • Let the noodles cool slightly before mixing with eggs or youll end up with scrambled eggs instead of a binder
  • Press the patties firmly, loose noodles fall apart in the pan and that is a messy lesson nobody needs
03 -
  • Use a ring mold or small bowl lined with plastic wrap for restaurant style circular patties
  • Let the assembled sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing so the cheese has time to set
