Avocado Sandwich | Easy Breakfast Recipe | Avocado - Vegetable Sandwich

Holidays means no need to get early, no stress about what to pack for lunch,long morning sleep,lots of chilled beverages  and  more.Although we get up late I really feel irritated sometimes as i am clueless what to cook for breakfast as  no batters are stocked up in refrigerator .Some day i just make any instant flour and prepare easy recipes.

Breads  comes as great rescuer when its for breakfast.One can just make french toast,or any sanwiches or just spread butter/ jam and eat.Another time saving is we don't need to make any side dish for it .In this summer no  need to sweat too much in kitchen just make quick and healthy breakfast wih bread.
