Preparation
1
Halve, peel, and finely dice the shallot. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, add the sauerkraut, and fry for 8-12 minutes until light brown (the liquid will evaporate first, then the frying begins). Stir in thyme leaves, honey, and 1 teaspoon of butter into the browned sauerkraut, and season with salt.
2
Toast the bread in a toaster or frying pan. Meanwhile, melt the cheese on a raclette grill (or in an ovenproof pan under the grill). Spread butter on the toasted bread, then top two slices with cooked ham and sauerkraut. Pour the melted cheese over, and top with the remaining toasted bread. Serve with cornichons.

Perfect with a green salad—and of course, a glass of Alsace wine!
