Mom's recipes are always the best! Check out this amazing sandwich featuring crunchy, tangy sauerkraut with creamy avocado and hummus, stuffed between two slices of pumpernickel bread, and grilled until hot and crispy!
Today I will be sharing a new recipe that she recently developed as part of her new vegan diet, and later this week I will be sharing a recipe for an amazing cake that made a regular appearance at our table during my childhood. (Stay tuned, you don't want to miss it, it is super easy to make!)
In all honesty, initially I wasn't sure I was going to like this sandwich, but my mother raved about it, so I decided to try it. She has been experimenting with all sorts of new recipes since changing to a vegan diet. However, you don't have to be a vegan to appreciate all the great tastes going on in here!
I fell in love with the play of the distinctive pumpernickel taste with the milder but garlicky hummus and the crunchy, tangy sauerkraut with the creamy avocado. I was surprised at how well all the flavours worked together!
I now realize that I need this sandwich in my life, and you will too! So try it! 🙂
If you love this recipe, please give it 5 stars!

INGREDIENTS
8 slices pumpernickel bread
vegan buttery spread (or regular butter)
1 cup hummus (roasted garlic flavour, divided)
1 cup sauerkraut (drained, lightly rinsed, and liquid squeezed out)
1 avocado (peeled and sliced lengthwise into about 16 pieces (you can leave out this ingredient if you want to lower the fat content of the sandwich, and it will still be really delicious!))
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Spread butter on one side of each of the 8 slices of bread, and place 4 of them them butter side down on a baking sheet.
Take about half of the hummus and distribute over the 4 slices of bread.
Distribute the sauerkraut over the hummus on each slice.
Distribute the avocado slices over the sauerkraut.
For the remaining 4 slices of bread, spread hummus on the side without butter and place hummus side down on the avocado slices.
Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, then flip the sandwiches and bake about 6 minutes more, until the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy. (Alternatively, you can grill them on the stove top on a griddle or in a skillet).
