Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado to avoid a mushy sandwich.
- You can substitute the alfalfa sprouts with other sprouts like radish or broccoli for added flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute the goat cheese with a plant-based spread.
- Toast the bread slightly if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to prevent sogginess.
