Cook the Book: Smoked Ham with Avocado and Butter
Avocado adds a great creamy element to sandwiches, and I'm glad to see it in a sandwich that doesn't call for sprouts. I don't understand how anyone eats those threadlike sprouts. I almost gag every time I try them. Plus, they seem suspiciously associated with health. Thankfully, there's just some nice smoked ham and butter here to complement that avocado. Don't you love recipes that only have one step?
