OMG! This was absolutely AMAZING!!! Even better then I expected. I thought it was weird to fry them so put them in the oven but did fry 2 of them - definitely fry them! The oven ones were too hard but still very tasty. All 3 of my kids, even my 3 yr old, asked for seconds (I didn't put sauerkraut on the kids half). I made 2 French breads worth & only have 3 sandwiches left over! This recipe is a keeper for sure!!!!! :o]

we really liked it - I used Italian bread and left off the sauerkraut for the kids. Will definitely make it again - soon!

Very good! Make sure you use fresh bread. The mayo mix would be good on any sandwich.

this was really good, even if I used the wrong bread. By mistake I bought Italian, but it was still delicious
