Ingredients

• 2 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 slices Rye bread
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cup Sauerkraut
• 0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Gently clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the mushroom caps.

Step 5

Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 6

While the mushrooms are roasting, lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.

Step 8

Place a roasted portabella mushroom on top of each slice with the dressing.

Step 9

Add 2 slices of Swiss cheese and 1/4 cup sauerkraut on top of each mushroom.

Step 10

Cover each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.

Step 11

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 12

Carefully place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
