Instructions
Prep work
- Clean and slice up the fresh mushrooms.
- In a medium sized frying pan (Use the same pan for grilling the sandwiches), add the oil and the fresh sliced mushrooms.
- If adding seasoning, add to the pan and saute until the mushrooms are done to the desired tenderness or slightly browned.
- When your mushrooms are done, scoop them into a bowl and set aside.
- Slice the bread.
- Butter one side of each bread.
- On the opposite side, spread avocado.
- Have all the ingredients ready for quick assembly: The jar of Sauerkraut ready to put on the sandwich, the cheese sliced and ready, the sauteed mushrooms set aside, and lastly the Vegan Thousand Island Dressing.
Assembling the Mushroom Reuben's...
- In your frying pan, on medium heat, place the buttered side down in the pan with the avocado side facing up.
- Now add your Cheese ( if you want ), then the sauteed Mushrooms, next the Sauerkraut and last the Vegan Thousand Island Dressing.
- Place the other piece of bread on top with the buttered side up and cover the pan.
- If you add cheese to the sandwich, it will be easy to see when to flip the sandwich, if no cheese, it is a little harder to know exactly when to flip. Just check to see how the other side is coming along for darkness.
- Once the cheese starts to melt or the bottom side has browned, flip the sandwich.
- Continue cooking until the sandwich has browned evenly.
- Remove from the pan and continue with the next sandwich until all are done.
- Plate the sandwich, cut in half, add a little dipping bowl of thousand island dressing along side your Vegan/Vegetarian Mushroom Reuben and serve.
