My husband even LOVES this sandwich. Let me tell you a funny story… I always joke with Tyler (my husband) being on an all cheese diet when I met him; Mac and cheese… Cheese pizza… Plain bagels and cream cheese… Don’t get me wrong, I love cheese as well but not for every meal. The word “avocado” was foreign being that it was green. He has been such a trooper trying everything I put in front of him (going 10 years strong together), and he has loved about 99.9% of everything he has tried that is not cheese related.
