Farmhouse Ham, Cheese and Sauerkraut Sandwiches image

Time 20m

Yield 6 slamwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed, crushed
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained (1/2 of an 8-oz can)
3/4 tablespoon butter, melted
12 slices country bread
18 slices swiss cheese
6 slices ham (thinly sliced)
pickle (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, seeds & pepper; stir in kraut; set aside.
  • On a foil-lined baking sheet, place six slices bread--first brush each with melted butter (save some for the other half of the sammie); top with a slice of cheese, then 1/6th of the kraut mixture,then a slice of ham and two slices of cheese--do this on all six slices of bread.
  • Brush remaining six slices of bread with melted butter; place on cheese--with butter side up, to make six sandwiches.
  • Bake for 10 minutes (cheese is melted, bread is lightly browned)--turn once during that time.
  • Remove from oven; slice diagonally, serve with pickles.
  • SEPTEMBER HARVEST: Remember Johnny Appleseed by placing a few thin slices of apple between the ham and cheese.
  • NEBRASKA REUBEN: Salute Omaha's claim to fame and use thinly sliced corned beef instead of the ham.
  • CRUNCHY BITES: Add a few sunflower kernels to the sauerkraut mixture and honor those hardy souls in North Dakota who raise huge fields of sunflowers!
  • BOOST YOUR PROTEIN: Stir about a 1/4-cup of cooked edible soybeans (edamame) into the sauerkraut mixture and thank a South Dakota farmer!

The sandwich was easy to make and the results were delicious. I especially liked the way the cheese melted and mixed with the sauerkraut.

The sandwich was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think I'll try using less sauerkraut next time.
