| 1. Preheat oven to 350. | 2. In a small mixing bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, seeds & pepper; stir in kraut; set aside. | 3. On a foil-lined baking sheet, place six slices bread--first brush each with melted butter (save some for the other half of the sammie); top with a slice of cheese, then 1/6th of the kraut mixture,then a slice of ham and two slices of cheese--do this on all six slices of bread. | 4. Brush remaining six slices of bread with melted butter; place on cheese--with butter side up, to make six sandwiches. | 5. Bake for 10 minutes (cheese is melted, bread is lightly browned)--turn once during that time. | 6. Remove from oven; slice diagonally, serve with pickles. | 7. SEPTEMBER HARVEST: Remember Johnny Appleseed by placing a few thin slices of apple between the ham and cheese. | 8. NEBRASKA REUBEN: Salute Omaha's claim to fame and use thinly sliced corned beef instead of the ham. | 9. CRUNCHY BITES: Add a few sunflower kernels to the sauerkraut mixture and honor those hardy souls in North Dakota who raise huge fields of sunflowers! | 10. BOOST YOUR PROTEIN: Stir about a 1/4-cup of cooked edible soybeans (edamame) into the sauerkraut mixture and thank a South Dakota farmer! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
