Step 2
Sprinkle the avocado with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Arrange the cucumber slices over the avocado, then add the tomato slices, lettuce leaf, and cheese.
Step 4
Top with the other slice of toast and gently press down to help the sandwich hold together. Cut the sandwich in half and serve right away.
