Thanks to their delicate, buttery texture and distinctive taste, avocados are one of the most eye-catching, delicious and fitting ingredients for all kinds of cold snacks. Especially for sandwiches of every shape and size. They also pair perfectly with almost any product: other vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, cheese, seafood, herbs, caviar and eggs. Knowing this, you can put your imagination to work and make a wide variety of avocado sandwiches using recipes — both your own and the ones found in this category.
The five most commonly used ingredients in avocado sandwich recipes:
| Product | Calories per 100g | Protein g per 100g | Fats g per 100g | Carbohydrates g per 100g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avocado | 208 | 2 | 20 | 7.4 |

Avocados for sandwiches can be cut into slices and pieces of different sizes. You can blend them into a smooth, pâté-like paste in a blender or run them through a meat grinder. Another plus is that these fruits don't need to be boiled or fried — they are eaten raw.
You can make this dish not only for a festive table, but also for an everyday one — for breakfast, for example. One of the ideal options: lightly toasted bread, avocado pâté spread on top, and a fried or boiled egg placed over it. It's best to plate the egg nicely, so the yolk sits neatly with the white around it. You can also make poached eggs. The result is a healthy and very hearty breakfast for any age.
The festive version of avocado sandwiches — or rather, the most winning, striking combinations of the chosen products — would be as follows. On a slice of white or dark bread of any shape, toasted or not, besides avocado you can put:
shrimp, shelled mussels, red or black caviar, red fish, tuna fillet, cheese, egg, sun-dried or fresh tomatoes, olives, or pine nuts.
The list can go on if you put your imagination to work (and, of course, the limits of the family budget).

If you use a paste made from it instead of sliced avocado, it can become a kind of "binding element" for other products, including "slippery" ones. To do this, spread the avocado over the surface of the sandwich not in an even layer, but in a ridged one. That way there's less risk that, say, a tomato slips off it at the moment of the bite.
