Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
  • 1 garlic clove (finely minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder, optional) (See Note)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped or 1 tsp dry cilantro, optional) (See Note)
  • FOR SANDWICH
  • 4 ounces sliced rye bread (4 slices light rye, or pumpernickel bread)

  • 115 grams Brie cheese (ripe Brie cheese, sliced - 8 oz round weighs 230 gm, 4 ounces)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • FOR THE AVOCADO BUTTER

  • Step 1: Halve & seed the avocado. W/a spoon, scoop all of the avocado pulp from the shell into a blender. Add the remaining ingredients & blend until smooth. Chill for at least 3-4 hrs & store under refrigeration in log-form or in an airtight container/jar w/a lid.

  • NOTE #1: Whether or not the garlic &/or cilantro are used may depend on your intent. For this sandwich, I might leave them out. BUT for use in Tex-Mex recipes, I would definitely use them

  • NOTE #2: The yield will be approx 1 cup or 8 1 oz servings, but this recipe is for 2 sandwiches. So the nutritional data will be skewed due to the unused amt of the avocado butter you will have stored for other uses

  • FOR THE SANDWICH

  • Step 2: Spread 1 oz of the avocado butter on each of 2 slices of the bread (2 oz total).

  • Step 3: Divide the thinly-sliced smoked salmon between the 2 slices of bread covered w/the avocado butter.

  • Step 4: Divide the sliced Brie cheese between the 2 slices of bread covered w/the avocado butter & smoked salmon. Cover w/the other 2 slices of bread & enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Don't forget the following tips and variations.
  • Standard blender or hand-held stick blender. My choice would be to use my stick blender & a wide-mouth jar for this recipe. Then the yield can be made into a log or stored in the jar for other uses.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
