"Almost any kind of cheese works well. Notice the technique of leaving it open-faced and covered with a lid until the cheese melts. Adapted from "Cheap. Fast. Good!" by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross."

ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (regular or grainy)
4 slices white bread or 4 slices whole wheat bread
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
4 slices cheese (such as 2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese and 2 slices Swiss)
4 thin slices tomatoes
6 thin slices avocados

directions

Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over low heat.
While butter melts, spread 1 teaspoon mustard on each of 2 slices of the bread. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on each of the 2 remaining slices of bread. Place 2 slices of cheese on each of 2 slices of the bread.
Place the cheese-topped bread, cheese side up, in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown on the bottom and the cheese is just beginning to melt, 2 to 3 minutes.
Arrange 2 slices of tomato and 3 slices of avocado on top of the cheese, and place another piece of bread on each sandwich. Turn the sandwiches over, pressing each with a spatula to keep it together. Cook, uncovered, until the second side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to press sandwiches with a spatula while cooking.
Transfer sandwiches to plates, cut in half and serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
