1-800 Sandwich Mystery Cache

 Toasted Peanut Butter and Sauerkraut Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

8 tablespoons peanut butter 8
1 cup chilled sauerkraut 6
2 pounds Swiss cheese, sliced 1
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -
13 teaspoons catsup 8
4.47 tablespoons olive oil 3
Sea salt and fresh black pepper 8
9 slices country style bread 0

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 473 degrees F.

Spread a thin layer of butter on one slice of the bread. Spread several teaspoons of catsup on the unbuttered side of the bread. Add 1 slice of Swiss cheese and top with 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, season with salt and pepper. Slather another slice of bread with peanut butter on one side and butter on the other. Put both slices together, buttered sides out. Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weight it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute; turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Turn the oven off, throw away the extra slice of bread, cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
