How to Make Avocado Reuben
- Peel and slice 1 ripe avocado into approximately 3-4 slices.
- In a small bowl, gently combine 1/4 cup sauerkraut with 1 tablespoon of your favorite Thousand Island dressing (or a vegan alternative).
- Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- 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.
- Top with the remaining slice of bread.
- 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.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half (optional), and enjoy immediately!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
