Avocado sandwich with cream cheese and tomato
Instructions
Tip
Choose the perfect tomatoes for your sandwich. Opt for ripe, firm tomatoes with a vibrant colour, as these will offer the best balance of sweetness and acidity. Heirloom tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes, and the like are particularly juicy and flavourful.
Tip
For a crunchier, toasted texture, use stale or leftover bread. The soft avocado, cream cheese, and tomato need a sturdy, crunchy base, and bread that is not completely fresh or freshly baked toasts better, giving you a much crunchier texture. This ensures a robust contrast against the creamy, tender fillings and enhances the sandwich with a richer, toasted flavour.

A creamy base of rocket and pesto-flavoured cream cheese
Cream cheese can take any sandwich to the next level, which is undoubtedly true with this rocket pesto cream cheese. With its soft and spreadable texture, the cream cheese brings a fresh, zesty flavour to the avocado sandwich. It adds a lush flavour from rocket and pesto, enhancing the sandwich with an herbaceous and slightly peppery note. Its fresh, tangy profile contrasts beautifully with the rich, buttery avocado and complements the sweetness of the tomato, creating a delightful medley of flavours that makes every bite indulgent and refreshing.
Served on toasted rye sourdough bread
The bread is essential in a sandwich, providing the base and holding all the sandwich ingredients from spreads to fillings. In this recipe, we opt for a flavourful rye sourdough bread to add robust, earthy tones and a slight tang. Its coarse texture, enhanced by the toasting, introduces a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the soft fillings and ensures each bite is a harmonious blend of flavour taste and varied textures.

Add your own touch to the recipe
You can easily add to your avocado sandwich to make it even better. Add a refreshing crunch of cucumber and some crispiness from fresh lettuce, such as romaine lettuce. Other fresh vegetables like raw onions in very thin slices, shredded carrots, or thinly sliced red pepper will also be a real treat in this sandwich. A sprinkle of fresh chives gives it a pop of colour and a nice oniony finish.
Eggs and bacon are also classics with avocado. Crispy bacon, with its irresistible salty crunch, adds a smoky depth of flavour that perfectly complements the creaminess of the avocado. Poached eggs, fried eggs, or boiled eggs are all delicious, adding different variations of soft and creamy yolk, but a classic egg salad with curry powder also adds a delicious flavour to the sandwich.
