Sauerkraut is not something we usually buy and by usually, I mean never. I don’t think I had ever purchased sauerkraut until Monday night when I made sausages and onion sauerkraut. That night, it seems, I developed a food crush on shredded pickled cabbage. Is it any wonder that I felt the need to add sauerkraut to my grilled cheese sandwich?

For this delectable sandwich, I used regular white bread though I’m pretty sure it would taste even more amazing with pumpernickel or rye bread. For cheese I used friulano, which turned out to be a good choice because it’s not a very pungent or salty cheese. I would say that if you’re going to add sauerkraut to a sandwich, make sure the cheese you use isn’t very salty.

You know how you add pickles to burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc? That’s what sauerkraut is starting to feel like for me.
