2. Slice and Prep the Avocado:

   • Slice the ripe avocado in half lengthwise and gently remove the pit. Sprinkle the avocado slices with a splash of fresh lemon juice to keep them from browning.

3. Layer the Avocado:

4. Add the Alfalfa Sprouts:

   • Now it’s time for the fresh crunch of alfalfa sprouts! Pile the sprouts generously on top of the avocado layer. Gently press down to ensure everything stays in place.

5. A Touch of Heat and Crunch:

   • Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper over the alfalfa sprouts for a hint of heat. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a slice of red onion for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.

6. Complete the Sandwich:

   • Place the remaining slice of cream cheese-covered bread on top of the alfalfa sprouts and press down gently to secure the layers.

7. Chill and Enjoy:

   • Wrap your sandwich tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap to hold everything together. For the best results, let it rest and chill in the fridge for a bit to allow the flavors to meld.
