Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Sauerkraut on Rye bread

This sandwich is famously known as Reuben sandwich. Sandwiches have been a favourite among all of us and you must try this sandwich. The most important ingredients is the Gruyere Swiss Cheese and Sauerkraut without which the dish is incomplete. Sauerkraut is nothing but cabbage that is finely cut, salted and allowed to ferment until sour. Rye bread is usually used because it is moist and it has a nice crisp crust. If you do not find any of these ingredients you can replace them with Cheddar cheese, wheat bread and butter. For variations you can also use coleslaw instead of Sauerkraut. So here is the recipe..

Ingredients:
Serves one

2 slices dark rye bread
Several thin slices of aged, Gruyere Swiss cheese
1/3 cup drained and heated sauerkraut
2 teaspoons of butter

Method:
Heat a frying pan to medium high heat. For each slice of bread, butter one side and place slice butter side down on the hot pan.
Add a layer of cheese to one of the slices. As the bread begins to toast just slightly, and the cheese begins to soften, spread the heated sauerkraut over the slice of bread with cheese. Using a spatula, flip the cheese-less bread slice over on top of the slice with cheese and sauerkraut.
After 30 sec or so, check to see if the cheese is just beginning to melt. If it is, flip the whole sandwich over onto the other side. Toast a minute more or less on that side until the cheese has melted, but isn't runny. Remove the sandwich from the pan. Slice in half and relish the sandwich.
