Easy Lobster Reuben

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup light Thousand Island salad dressing
  • 8 slices deli-style rye, pumpernickel or sourdough bread
  • 3 teaspoons butter
  • 18 ounces shredded sauerkraut
  • 8 sandwich-sized thinly sliced reduced-fat Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together lobster and salad dressing. Set aside. 
  2. Arrange bread slices on a large cutting board work surface and lightly spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Heat remaining butter on griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place all slices of bread on griddle with butter side face down; reduce heat to medium-low. Top four of the slices with one slice of cheese; on other four bread pieces, top with sauerkraut (distribute evenly). Top kraut slices with one slice of cheese each; then top with lobster-dressing mixture and then close the sandwich with the bread slice topped with cheese.
  4. Heat sandwiches until bottom is golden, about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip sandwiches and cook until underside is golden-brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Remove from griddle or pan and slice diagonally.
