Ingredients

1 lb.
broccoli crowns, cut into small florets, stems thinly sliced (about 6 1/2 cups)
1 Tbsp.
olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 cup
sauerkraut, drained well
1/3 cup
mayonnaise
3 Tbsp.
ketchup
1 1/2 Tbsp.
hot sauce
2 tsp.
prepared horseradish, squeezed of excess liquid
2 tsp.
vegan Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp.
paprika
4 Tbsp.
unsalted butter, at room temperature
8
slices marble rye bread
8
slices Swiss Gruyère cheese

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 450°F. On rimmed baking sheet, toss broccoli with oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast, undisturbed, until tender and browned on edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and toss with sauerkraut to combine.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and paprika.
3. Step 3Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on each of 8 slices bread, flip and spread other side with 1 tablespoon sauce. Add remaining sauce to roasted broccoli mixture and toss to combine. Top sauce-side of each slice of bread with 1 slice cheese. Divide broccoli mixture among 4 bread slices, then top with remaining slices, cheese sides down.
4. Step 4Heat large cast-iron skillet on medium to medium-low. Add 2 sandwiches and cook, covered, pressing down on sandwiches occasionally and flipping halfway through, until cheese melts and bread is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes total. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.
