Ingredients
- 8 muenster cheese slices, preferably tillamook
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
- 1/2 cup grilled onions
- 8 ounce sliced ham
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- spicy brown mustard of your choice
- salted butter (preferably tillamook), melted
Directions
- Preheat a counter top griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat.
- Butter one side of all slices of bread and place on the grill, butter side down.
- Put an even amount of Muenster on the slices of bread and place a pot lid over both slices to help the cheese melt.
- On the other side of the griddle (or in another frying pan over medium-high heat), mix the kraut and onions and begin heating them.
- At the same time, grill the slices of ham.
- Once hot, transfer the ham onto half of the bread slices, and scoop the kraut and onions on top of the ham.
- Squirt your desired amount of mustard over the kraut and onions.
- Once the cheese is melted and bread is browned, close the sandwich. Flip it over a few times, allowing the cheese to melt into the ingredients.
- When it’s done, pull it from the griddle, cut, and enjoy.
