re: OT Electrician advice needed: running 110v off of 220v line

I'm replacing the double oven in my kitchen. The oven's cabinet in my kitchen has a finished exposed side, from the floor to just below the ceiling. For various reasons, I want to put a wall plug there on that side.
Currently, the 220v line comes into the cavity where the oven is installed and terminates inside a receptacle box, then the oven is plugged in to that. Since the new 110v outlet will come from that 220v source, and is behind the oven, should I run that 220v to a small breaker panel in the wall behind the oven (which is a blank wall in my pantry, and break out the 220v to the oven receptacle from there, and also break out to another receptacle with a 220v to 110v adapter inside, and then run my 110v line to the wall plug?
Or, am I overthinking this? Should I simplify things by installing a two-gang 220v receptacle behind the oven and plug in a 220v to 110v adapter, and run my 110v receptacle from there?
Also, since kitchens require a GFCI, is this even doable at all and meet code?
I’m sure you’re a big DIY guy and can do it better than any professional out there, but why don’t you do yourself and your neighbors and family a favor and hire someone who already knows the answer to all of your questions

Our scenario: going from electric to a gas range and the only thing back there is the 240v.
Replace the 240v double pole breaker supplying the 240v outlet with a 20 amp single pole breaker, if this 240v outlet was powering a electric range the wire size should be more than adequate for 20 amps. Replace the 240v receptacle with a 120v 20 amp type receptacle. If the 240v circuit was a 3 wire circuit, one wire that was attached to one pole of the original double pole breaker will need to be moved to the neutral bus in the breaker panel, the other end connects to the neutral side of the 120v receptacle. If it is a 4 wire circuit you will already have a neutral wire, and will need to tape of and discard the extra no longer needed wire that was removed from one pole of the 24v breaker.
