Cheddar-Sauerkraut Toast

I’m glad to see that somebody else likes cheddar cheese and sauerkraut. For a 5 minute version with no oven warming toast the bread and put the sauerkraut, peppers and cheese on and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. I use peperoncini instead of jalapeños. These flavors also go well with smoked turkey or ham .

I often make a sandwich version of this w/ dijon. Quick and easy if you assemble everything then chuck in an air fryer.

Instead of bread, I use tortillas, either folded over with the cheese & sauerkraut inside, or made as a quesadilla.

Could you provide a gluten-free vegan recipe that cooks in my Instant Pot, crisps in my air fryer, stays warm in my slow cooker and uses only organic ingredients?

It's a Nickel Mush! In the early 1950's, my brother and I would save our [5] pennies until we could buy, at the candy store near PS 92, a half loaf of Italian bread, sauerkraut, and mustard. For 10 cents, we could've gotten the whole loaf; for the unimaginable sum of a quarter (which also bought you a Sabrett hot dog): whole loaf, 2 hot dogs, sauerkraut. I can't wait to make this.

adding a slice of tomato.

I love ___ over-toast recipes for quick meals (creamed spinach, beans, eggs, etc) but I would NEVER have thought of this one on my own. I often crave a Reuben but never have corned beef in the house. This was perfect. Thank you, NYT!

Cut into small (2" x 2") pieces and serve as an appetizer. A little Dijon mustard on the toast is a nice add. I might try a little thin-sliced shallot next time.

Last week I made fermented cabbage (kimchi, kind of) and jalapeños...together...using a recipe I'd found on NYT for the latter. Then I made cheddar bread from the Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. I hadn't thought to combine the two until I saw the above recipe. Simply marvelous.

@wendy Many hard cheeses, cheddars included, are now made with microbial Rennets or vegetable rennet and are suitable for vegetarians.

O.k. I made it with the Julia Child braised sauerkraut recipe, good cheddar, jalapenos as indicated. Toasted the bread, heaped on the toppings, put it in pre-heated air fryer for 3 minutes. Result: needed more heat so added red and black pepper. Second batch, added Dijon mustard, too. Terrific! Make this!

I’m always on the lookout for recipes to make on Lenten Fridays, and this worked a trick. I used whole grain mustard and good dill pickles, since I don’t care for jalapeño. A tasty, quick alternative to pasta or a salad.

I have to be honest here - I thought this recipe sounded a little odd. But, it was delicious!! Even our 6-year old liked it! Next time we are going to use a few more jalapenos.

I did not have chedder, so used shredded pizza cheese and spicy brown mustard. We had homemade pickled spicy peppers and used those. Easy and delicious!

Delicious, quick lunch. I used picked onions instead of jalapeños because that’s what I had and it turned out great. I tried the onions on top of the cheese and underneath- no difference, both delicious.
