What an awesome sandwich. I took the advice of Sharlene and got rid of some of the fat, but other than that made as directed. I used Kitz homemade French Bread that I had frozen. As with any sandwich that I make with sliced avocado, it keep trying to escape, but it really added a great freshness to this. Thanks for sharing Engrossed.
