California sandwich - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the sour cream in the sauce with Greek yogurt?

Yes, Greek yogurt is a great alternative to sour cream for a tangy, creamy texture with fewer calories.

How long can I store the assembled sandwich in the fridge?

For best freshness, store the assembled sandwich in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. The avocado may brown slightly, so add lemon juice to slow oxidation.

How can I make this sandwich vegetarian?

To make this sandwich vegetarian, simply omit the meat and add extra avocado, roasted veggies, or a plant-based protein like tempeh.

What’s the best way to prevent the bread from getting soggy?

Spread a thin layer of butter or mayo on the bread before adding wet ingredients to create a moisture barrier.

Can I freeze the assembled sandwich for later?

Freezing is not recommended due to the fresh ingredients like avocado and tomato, which become mushy when thawed.

What’s a good low-carb alternative to bread for this sandwich?

Try using large lettuce leaves, portobello mushrooms, or low-carb tortillas as a bread substitute.

Can I add protein like chicken or turkey to this sandwich?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken, turkey slices, or even smoked salmon would pair well with the creamy sauce and fresh veggies.

How can I adjust the portion size for a smaller serving?

Use a single slice of bread (open-faced) or halve the ingredients for a lighter snack.

What’s a good side dish to serve with this sandwich?

Pair it with a simple green salad, roasted sweet potato wedges, or a light soup for a balanced meal.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
