Steps:
- For the garlic spread, place mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Slowly add the the olive oil, whisking until incorporated.
- For the sandwich, remove a small amount of the inside of ciabatta loaf, creating a hollow in the center of the loaf to make room for the filling. Slice the ciabatta loaf, on an angle, into 3-4 sandwich-sized pieces. Slice each piece in half, lengthwise. Brush a small amount of olive oil onto the outside of each piece of bread, so that both the top and bottom halves of each sandwich have oil on the outside of the bread. Slather some garlic spread onto the inside of the bottom half of each sandwich, reserving any leftover spread for a later use. Onto the bottom half of each sandwich, place 2-3 slices of mozzarella cheese, 2-3 slices of tomato, 3-4 slices of avocado, and about 2 tablespoons of feta cheese. Firmly place the top piece of bread onto each sandwich.
- Brush a grill pan or griddle with a small amount of olive oil, and place over medium-high heat. Place the sandwiches onto the hot pan. Place a heavy pan on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down, careful not to squeeze the filling out of the sandwiches. After 3-4 minutes, use a spatula or tongs to carefully flip the sandwiches, and another 3-4 minutes, until cheese is completely melted.
- Cool for a few minutes and serve.

GRILLED AVOCADOS
Had some ripe avocados left over. They were extras from guacamole the previous weekend. So I gave this quick and extremely easy recipe a shot on the grill, and the wife and kids loved it. Fresh ones are good too. Use paprika instead of the chipotle and chili powder for less spicy. Canola oil can be substituted for olive oil if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oil in pan over med-low heat (or use non-stick pan)and fry onion until soft and lightly browned, adding tomato slices for the last minute or two of cooking time.
- Meanwhile, divide avocado equally between two slices of bread, buttering the other two slices if desired.
- Add all other ingredients except butter, then place second slice of bread on top pressing lightly to flatten sandwich a bit.
- Wipe out pan (or use separate pan) and add a little butter.

- Use a flavorful bread: A hearty bread like sourdough or whole wheat will help to stand up to the strong flavors of the avocado and garlic spread.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add other toppings to your sandwich, such as arugula, tomatoes, or bacon.
