Sauerkraut on Rye Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sauerkraut and fresh rye bread are married together
with the fantastic flavor of Gruyere Swiss cheese.

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

Directions:
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.
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.
