Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 200 grams roast beef, thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado, ripe
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by preparing the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then mix in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of half the bread slices (on top of the buttered layer). On the other half of the bread slices, spread a layer of the mashed avocado mixture.
Place a lettuce leaf on each avocado-topped slice of bread for added crunch.
Divide the thinly sliced roast beef onto the lettuce-topped slices, making sure each has an even layer.
Add a few thin slices of cucumber on top of the roast beef for a refreshing crunch.
Close each sandwich by placing the slices with mayonnaise on top of the roast beef and cucumber layer, mayonnaise side down.
Gently press down on each sandwich and, using a sharp knife, cut off the crusts to create clean edges.
Slice each sandwich into quarters, either diagonally to form triangles or straight to form rectangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the finger sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
