SERVES 1

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of dark rye bread
  • 3 ounces (to taste) of Russian or Thousand Island dressing
  • 2 slices of thick Swiss Cheese
  • 4 ounces of sauerkraut (squeeze off the liquid to avoid soggy bread)
  • ¼ cup sliced mushrooms (can be more; they will cook down)
  • Several slices of red onion
  • 2 slices of tomato
  • ⅛ teaspoon of granulated garlic

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place bread slices open face on a cookie sheet.
  • Generously spread the dressing on both slices of bread. On the first slice, spread sauerkraut on one slice over the dressing. Place Swiss cheese slices over the sauerkraut. On the second slice of bread, spread out the mushrooms, then top the mushrooms with the red onion. Sprinkle the mushroom and onion slice with garlic.
  • Bake both sides of bread until the cheese is fully melted, even a little bubbly. Top the veggie side with tomato. Combine slices into a sandwich, let it rest for a minute, then slice in half and enjoy!
