Sandwiches - Avocado mash sandwich by Consuela B. - Recipia

When I want something quick in the morning or at lunch, the avocado mash and boiled egg sandwich is a choice I often return to. Basically, most of the ingredients are always found in the fridge. The only real concern is to have a good avocado on hand, but everything else can be easily adjusted. I prefer to grill the slices of bread, but an oven tray works too if I'm not in a hurry. Quick Info Total time: about 15-20 minutes Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 5-10 minutes (depending on how quickly the egg boils and how long you toast the bread) Servings: 1 large sandwich (or two small if you cut a large slice of bread) Difficulty: easy Recipe type: hearty breakfast or quick lunch Ingredients 2 slices of bread (or 1 large slice cut in half) 2 cherry tomatoes green onion rings (to taste) a few arugula leaves 1 boiled egg (hard yolk) 4 thin slices of prosciutto crudo 2 slices of Delaco DeSenvis cheese For the avocado mash: 1 ripe avocado 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon olive oil salt and pepper to taste Preparation method 1. I prepare the bread. I place the two slices of bread on the grill or on a tray and leave them until they are lightly toasted. They don't need to be completely crispy, just lightly golden. If I have a large slice, I cut it in half after taking it out of the oven. 2. Meanwhile, I put the egg to boil. I boil it over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, so it is hard and easier to cut at the end. 3. I wash the avocado, cut it lengthwise, remove the pit, and peel it. I mash it with a fork in a bowl until it becomes creamy, then add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. I mix well. 4. I move on to assembling. On one slice of toasted bread, I place a thin layer of arugula, then the cheese, prosciutto, and thinly sliced cherry tomatoes. 5. I cover with the second slice of bread. On the top side, I spread the avocado mash, add a few rings of green onion, and finally the boiled egg cut into slices or quarters. Why I make this recipe often It helps me when I don't feel like cooking complicated meals or when I'm short on time. It comes together quickly, I can use what I already have in the fridge, and the flavor combination is balanced. It can be adapted to whatever I have on hand. Tips and variations Tips If the bread is fresh and has a thin crust, it is not necessary to toast it, but baked has a better texture. The avocado should be soft to the touch; otherwise, the mash won't be creamy. The egg is easier to peel if you run it under cold water immediately after taking it out of hot water. Substitutions Prosciutto crudo can be replaced with any ham or pastrami you have in the fridge. Delaco DeSenvis cheese can be replaced with any cheese that slices easily; it doesn't have to be a specific type. Arugula can be replaced with baby spinach or any fresh green leaf. Green onion can be omitted or replaced with regular onion if you don't have green onion. Variations You can add a few thin slices of cucumber or bell pepper for extra freshness. If you want it without meat, just leave out the prosciutto. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little pepper on top of the boiled egg or add some sesame seeds over the avocado mash. Serving ideas The sandwich can be eaten whole or cut in half. It can be served with a simple salad on the side, or with a few slices of raw vegetables. For breakfast, I pair it with coffee, and for lunch, with a cold lemonade. Frequently asked questions The avocado is not ripe; what should I do? If the avocado is hard, do not try to use it for this recipe. It's better to leave it for a day or two at room temperature, wrapped in paper, until it softens. Can I boil the egg softer? Yes, if you prefer the egg with a soft yolk, boil it for only 5-6 minutes. For the sandwich, a hard egg is easier to cut and assemble. Does it have to be Delaco DeSenvis cheese? No, any cheese that slices thinly is suitable. Can it be made without meat? Yes, just skip the prosciutto. The other ingredients remain the same. How can I keep the avocado mash from oxidizing? If you have leftover avocado mash, place plastic wrap directly on its surface, as tightly as possible. Lemon juice slows oxidation, but does not completely stop it. Nutritional values Estimated for one sandwich (all ingredients): approximately 350-400 kcal. Protein: 18-20g, carbohydrates: 28-32g, fats: 20-24g. Values are approximate and depend on the type of cheese and bread used. It is a fairly balanced snack for breakfast or lunch. Storage and reheating The sandwich is best fresh. If you need to store it, wrap it tightly in foil and keep it in the fridge, but not for more than a few hours as the bread will become soggy and the avocado mash will oxidize. Reheating in the oven or sandwich maker is not recommended, as it ruins the texture.
