TOMATO-&-AVOCADO CHEESE SANDWICH
Parmesan cheese is such a bold flavor, you only need 1/4 cup to add a big punch to this vegetarian toaster-oven sandwich. Get a serving of fruit too, when you enjoy the sandwich with a fresh pear.

TOMATO, CHEESE, AND AVOCADO SANDWICH
This is one of my favorite sandwiches! I usually use a wonderful white horseradish cheddar cheese rather than provolone, but it's kind of hard to find and the provolone is tasty, too. :) I've tried it on a lot of different breads, but I think that Oroweat's Carb Counting Multigrain Bread (when I'm being good) and Poulsbo Bread (when I'm bad) are my favorites for this sandwich.

Steps:
- If you like your sandwiches toasted, go ahead and toast your bread.
- Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and balsamic together, then spread it thinly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place cheese on a mayo/mustard side of a piece of bread; if including proscuitto, place it on the provolone.
- Spread the slices of avocado next, then the tomato, and season to taste with salt and pepper; then top with lettuce and the other slice of bread with the mayo/mustard side facing the lettuce.
- Note: using a fully ripe avocado is very important.
AVOCADO-TOMATO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
I LOVE avocados, especially the black Haas avocados. They're creamy and have such a "buttery" taste, and yet are cholesterol-free. This recipe makes a really delicious sandwich. When I make it for the kids, I eliminate the cumin, but add it when I'm making a sandwich for myself -- I like cumin's very mild spicy flavor that has a hint of caraway in it.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese is softer and creamier than regular mozzarella cheese. It will also melt better in the sandwich.
- Use ripe avocado: Ripe avocados are creamy and have a slightly nutty flavor. Avoid avocados that are hard or have brown spots.
- Season the sandwich to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
- Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will help to hold the sandwich together and make it easier to eat.

The Tomato, Cheese, and Avocado Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and avocados. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table.
