My mother-in-law is Argentinian, and at every reunion, party or birthday she always serves miga sandwiches. They're very practical because they can be prepared hours in advance and cut into small pieces. Miga sandwiches are an Argentinean staple prepared with slices of bread called pan de miga. They're simple combinations of butter or mayonnaise, ham and cheese. Beyond this traditional recipe, there are endless variations of fillings for all tastes: lettuce, tomato, egg, hearts of palm, olives, corn and whatever cold cuts you can think of! Today I'm giving the traditional Miga a bit of Mexican flair with avocados! If you have a family get-together, like a graduation or birthday, try them out; I’m sure they'll impress and delight your guests. Besides, they'll look appetizing and festive on your table.
