Avocado And Sprout Sandwiches Recipes

AVOCADO-AND-SPROUT CLUB SANDWICHES

Avocado-and-Sprout Club Sandwiches image

One of the golden rules of sandwich making is to use contrasting flavors and textures. Consider the classic California vegetable sandwich, which wouldn't be the same without crunchy sprouts, creamy avocado, sharp radish, and tangy goat cheese. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Ingredients

Assorted vegetables, such as cucumbers, red onions, lettuce, carrots, and radishes
2 ripe but firm avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
12 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
4 ounces alfalfa, clover, or garbanzo sprouts
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Slice vegetables into thin rounds or matchsticks, as desired; tear lettuce and slice avocados. Dividing evenly, layer vegetables on 8 toast slices. Top with sprouts. Spread goat cheese on remaining 4 toast slices; then drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Stack sandwiches so that each has two layers of vegetables and one of cheese (cheese side down). Cut in half and serve.

AVOCADO, CREAM CHEESE, AND ALFALFA SPROUT SANDWICH

Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Alfalfa Sprout Sandwich image

This sandwich is modeled after a cafeteria sandwich I had years ago, made with whole wheat bread, cream cheese, avocados, cayenne, and alfalfa sprouts. I've added the crusty bread, olives and onion. I like that it is layered so you get lots of different flavors and textures from top to bottom, and it holds together best if you use thick-sliced, hefty bread and let it rest and chill a while. The variations are endless -- add garlic or chives or herbs to the cream cheese; mirror-image the ingredients for a fatter sandwich; add bacon or cheese; for a spicier bite substitute radish sprouts for some of the alfalfa sprouts, etc.
