1/2 cup sauerkraut
Directions
Prepare Russian dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and ketchup in a
small bowl until smooth. Stir in capers and pickle (or relish).
To prepare sandwiches: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and
mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 4 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until
it has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.
Coat the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and return to medium heat. Add the bread; divide cheese equally
among the slices. Divide sauerkraut between 2 slices and divide the spinach mixture between the other 2
slices; cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer sandwich
halves to a cutting board. Divide the dressing between the spinach halves. Carefully place the sauerkraut
halves on top. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
