METHOD

Preheat the broiler.

Toast the bread on a medium setting in a toaster—you don't want it to get too toasted. Butter the toast lightly. Distribute half of the avocado slices between two slices of toast. Put them on a baking sheet. Season the avocado with salt and pepper. Drizzle or dollop on top of the cheese sauce. Broil the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with your desired toppings (if using). Place the remaining slices of toast on top of the sandwiches and spread with mayonnaise. Serve right away.

RECIPE NOTES

Heat the cheese sauce just before putting the sandwiches in the oven.
