Avocado Cream Cheese And Alfalfa Sprout Sandwich

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.

Steps

Spread both slices of bread with cream cheese or cover with cream cheese slices.
Slice the avocado in the half shell , lengthwise , and sprinkle with lemon juice.
Fan the avocado slices onto one slice of bread , and sprinkle with salt , lemon pepper , and black olive slices.
Top with alfalfa sprouts , press down slightly , sprinkle with cayenne , and onion slice.
Top with remaining bread slice and press down slightly , then wrap tightly and keep chilled.
