The World's Best Sauerkraut Toastie

The Reuben sandwich is probably where most first encounter sauerkraut. This classic American toastie hits all the right notes: buttery bread, salted cured meats, lashings of hot, melted cheese and hearty helping of sauerkraut to balance out all that richness and add a moreish crunchy texture.
