I really enjoyed this tasty sandwich. I used a whole wheat bagel but otherwise followed the recipe. Almost makes me not feel guilty for eating a 2 pound bag of peanut M&M's. (just kidding!! )

I've been eating this every day for awhile now. I love it. Definately use a nice "hard bread", so that it doesn't get soggy. I use a county loaf. I did a couple changes to suit my taste... I used baby spinach instead of lettuce and no peppers or oil. I mash the avacado into the cream cheese. My husband added red onion to his.

This was a great sandwich to take to school, and very healthy! I used regular bread which I wouldn't recommend (the cream cheese wouldn't spread and the bread got soggy) but the sandwich was still great! Tasted just like one you would order at Subway!

I could eat one of these everyday! I didn't use the sprouts or avocado this time, but did incorporate sun-dried tomatoes. I also added some sun-dried tomatoes and chopped green onions to the cream cheese spread. This was a big hit!
