Stage 2 - 3 min.

Prepare 2 avocados and slice thinly.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Cut 16 slices bread.

Melt 100 g butter and brush over one side of each slice.

Turn the bread over.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Fill half the slices with the grated cheese mix.

Note that these sandwiches are made with the butter on the outside.

For the bread, choose a rustic sourdough if possible; seeded and granary-style are good.

This works with other cheeses, so use whatever you have to hand.
