Sometimes I amaze myself. I sauntered into the kitchen, knew it was oatmeal time for Cool Guy, just didn't feel like having that myself, and created something new from what I had around, and am I ever glad I did.
I'm sure I'm not the first person on earth to make this breakfast sandwich, but I've never seen it before (my wide-ranging experience -- not), and I am super thrilled with it. I think I'm calling it something like Avocado Hamwich. For now, it's just My New Favorite.
I'm even going to go out on a limb and say that it's healthy. Yes, I know avocados are loaded with fat, but it's the good kind of fat, the kind that doesn't clog your arteries, and also makes you feel good and full all morning long. And they taste soooo good and have lots of other good nutrients in them. Not only that, avocados allow your body to more easily absorb other vitamins, like beta carotein. If you're curious, or just want to justify the avocado fat to yourself, you can learn all about avocado nutrients here. And please don't skip the little bit of butter. (Yes, I know that it's saturated fat, but just tiny smear of butter is what we're talking about.) It really makes it. Really.
I would definitely cut this rich breakfast with some fruit. I think the perfect match would be an orange, but it's not orange season, so I had some fresh pineapple with mine.

little bit of butter
diced ham
1 whole wheat English muffin, toasted
1. Spread a little butter on the muffin while warm.
