Classic Avocado, Cream Cheese and Sprouts Sandwich

When you go into a deli and look at their vegan or vegetarian sandwich choices, inevitably you'll see a version of this.  Why spend the six bucks per sandwich when you can make these at home?  Anyways, the chances of finding a deli with vegan cream cheese are probably 1000 to 1 or worse.  Served with a veggie stir-fry, it makes for a complete meal.


Classic Avocado, Cream Cheese and Sprouts Sandwich

 Ingredients:

 Your favorite bread on hand - we used sourdough
1 tub of Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese or your favorite vegan cream cheese
3 avocados, mashed with a fork
Salt and pepper to taste 
1 cup of alfalfa sprouts

Directions:

 Spread a thick layer of cream cheese on one slice of bread.  On top of that, spread a couple heaping tablespoons of mashed avocado.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking, and top with a layer of sprouts.  Add the top bread slice and bite.  Mm-mmm, taste the classicness of it all!  Feeds five hungry vegans.

      Sandra, I tried to connect to your blog the last time you commented, but I couldn't see a link. I'll try again when I'm done here.

    I don't think I've ever come across this sandwich — I must not be visiting the right delis! The sandwich I always see is hummus with cucumber and tomato. Or hummus with hummus. :)

      Wow, that sandwich sounds great - at least hummus is vegan, unlike cream cheese.

    Hmm, like Andrea, I have never seen anything like this! Sounds pretty good though. I love sprouts - they always help a sandwich. Well, that and avocado.

      Wonderful if it's just a California thing? Hmm.

    Oooh I never would have thought to put cream cheese and avocado together but that sounds amazing! What a great sandwich idea. I'll definitely have to give this a try.

    Count me amongst the many who have never heard of this combo. Seems like a slice of Tomato might fit in quite well.

      SV, definitely has to be California, I guess. Can't get it vegan-style in a deli, though. So, I had to come to the rescue. :-)

    I must admit that I'm a big fan of sandwich recipes! I love seeing what other people put in their sandwiches - there is so much variety! And it's nice to get some ideas so we don't get stuck in a sandwich rut!
