- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred)
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash avocado until slightly chunky. Mix in lemon juice and salt.

- Flip slices and spread avocado mixture on two slices.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of the avocado, add tomato slices, then another slice of cheese.

Notes
- Use ripe avocado for best texture and flavor.
