Stage 2 - 3 min.

Prepare 1 avocado and slice thinly.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Cut 8 slices bread.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Melt ¼ cup 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.

Stage 7 - 7 min.

In a frying pan, fry the sandwiches on both sides over moderate heat.

Remarks

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.
