Savory Vegan Reuben

Savory Vegan Reuben

A Reuben needs heat, tang, and a good griddle crust, and this mushroom version delivers all three. Griddling the rye keeps the bread crisp around the smoky filling and sauerkraut.

Butter Club Notes

A Reuben needs that hot, tangy, melty thing happening or it just doesn’t work. The smoky portobello mushrooms bring the savory bite, the sauerkraut cuts through everything, and the special sauce gives it that creamy Thousand Island-style finish. I like this one cooked like a grilled cheese, not just stacked cold on rye. The bread gets crisp, the Swiss melts, and the whole sandwich eats the way a Reuben should.
