Miracle Kraut Melt

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
I went to a wonderful restaurant in Denver and had a sandwich that was the inspiration for this recipe. Melted cheese and kraut is a genius combination! You can grill this open-faced so you can add the kraut after grilling and help preserve the the probiotics. However, since the kraut is in the middle between the cheese, it still stays cool enough to not matter if you grill the pieces of bread together. I’m so thankful I went to that restaurant. Not only did they have this sandwich, but they also had kombucha on tap and kimchi stew! It’s wonderful to see cultured foods popping up on menus around the country. People are starting to fall in love with fermentation—as they rightfully should! Get some good
or make mine and give this sandwich a try, I promise you will love it!

  • Add half the cheese to each slice of bread.
  • When the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly browned, remove both slices from pan and let them cool for a minute of two.
