Step 1:

How do you make avocado and cream cheese sandwiches? Gather the ingredients. Any bread works — a baguette, white, rye, or whole grain like mine. You can even use crispbread. Use a spreadable cream cheese like Almette, Hochland, Violette, and so on.
Step 2:

Cut the bread into slices about ½ inch thick. Toast the pieces on both sides in a dry skillet or in a toaster. You can skip this step, but the sandwiches taste better with crisp bread.
Step 3:

Spread each slice of bread with cream cheese.
Step 4:

Slice the lemon into thin rounds. Cut each round in half.
Step 5:

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Then peel it and slice the flesh thin. Half an avocado is enough for 4 toasts; a whole one is enough for 8 sandwiches. You can sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice to keep it from browning — whether you need to depends on how soft your fruit is. A ripe but still firm avocado won't darken quickly. Soft fruit browns faster, which spoils the look of the snack.
Step 6:

Lay the avocado slices on top of the cream cheese. Add a slice of lemon to each sandwich. Sprinkle the sandwiches with salt and ground pepper. Garnish with lettuce leaves or fresh herbs and serve.
Step 7:

Enjoy!

You can swap the cream cheese for processed cheese spread. Or stir finely chopped herbs (dill, parsley, green onion) into the cream cheese, or use a cheese that already has herbs in it. If you like, fry the bread on both sides in olive oil. For the base, you can use whole grain like mine, a regular white loaf, sandwich bread, or even a dark rye like Borodinsky. Another way to make this snack: peel and blend the avocado with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, or mash it with a fork. It's very important to buy the right avocado. It shouldn't be too soft — the skin shouldn't cave in when pressed, but should spring back. So it's best to buy a firm green one and let it ripen at home ahead of your event. How to store avocados properly: store them in a paper bag — in an ordinary plastic bag, an avocado spoils very quickly. Add an apple to the bag — it gives off ethylene gas, which speeds up ripening. And it's best to keep avocados in a warm, dry spot.
