Ingredients

• 4 slices Rye bread
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Sauerkraut
• 4 tablespoons Russian dressing
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 cup Red cabbage (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Carrot (shredded)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the coleslaw. In a medium-sized bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 2

Add apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and toss to combine. Set aside for flavors to meld.

Step 3

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until relatively smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing onto one side of each slice of rye bread.

Step 5

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each of the two slices of bread with dressing.

Step 6

Evenly divide the mashed avocado on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Spread the prepared coleslaw over the avocado layer, evenly distributing it.

Step 8

Add an even layer of sauerkraut over the coleslaw.

Step 9

Top the sauerkraut with the remaining slices of Swiss cheese and close the sandwiches with the other slices of rye bread, dressing side down.

Step 10

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 11

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Step 12

Carefully flip the sandwiches, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted.

Step 13

Remove from heat, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetarian Rachel Sandwich!
