Method
Prepare bread and spread

Toast and mix spreads
Lightly toast the 2 slices of whole grain bread until just golden. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice; stir until smooth.

Spread the prepared mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Prep cheeses and veggies

Cheese
Select two cheeses (the recipe lists cheddar and provolone as examples). Place 1 oz cheddar and 1 oz provolone slices on one of the mayo-mustard–spread bread slices, arranging them to cover the bread.

Avocado
Scoop out the flesh of 1/2 a ripe avocado into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky. Season with 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Spread the mashed avocado in an even layer over the cheeses.
