How to Make Avocado Reuben

  1. Peel and slice 1 ripe avocado into approximately 3-4 slices.
  2. In a small bowl, gently combine 1/4 cup sauerkraut with 1 tablespoon of your favorite Thousand Island dressing (or a vegan alternative).
  3. Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  4. Layer 2 slices of bread. On one slice, place 1 slice of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese), 1/4 cup of the sauerkraut mixture, and 3 slices of avocado.
  5. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
  6. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly gooey. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  7. Remove from skillet, slice in half (optional), and enjoy immediately!
