OPEN FACE SOUTHWEST SANDWICH

OPEN FACE SOUTHWEST SANDWICH





Ingredients:
(Makes 1 serving)

1/4 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
Handful Trader Joe's Shredded Pepper Jack cheese
Olive oil
Garlic powder
6 cherry or plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 avocado, sliced into pieces


Directions:

1. Preheat toaster oven for 5 minutes on broil/toast setting.

2. Drizzle each half of sandwich with olive oil; sprinkle with garlic powder.

3. Layer slices of avocado on each slice of bread.

4. Layer with tomato slices.

5. Sprinkle liberally with cheese.

6. Place on foil in toaster oven on broil/toast setting for 5 minutes.

Notes:

*This seems really gourmet when you're eating it and is a nice change of pace, but it couldn't be any easier or faster to make...can't beat cheesy, toasty & yummy in under 10 minutes!

*Nice way to use up pieces of bread that you steal, uh, I mean, rescue from being thrown out at restaurants. Not that that's what I did. But thank you, Cheesecake Factory, for your endless baskets of tasty bread. :)

*If you have the time and patience, tomatoes would be even better if more thinly sliced.
