Arrange the tomato slices on top. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper as well. Add the lettuce leaf, too.

Cover with the second slice of bread.

Bread: Use sturdy, good-quality bread, like sourdough, seeded rye, artisan bread, or crusty French baguette. Don’t use bread that is too soft or too sweet.

Cheese: Gouda, Cheddar, Provolone, or whatever sort you like.
Avocado: You can mash the avocado with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. This way, the sandwich will be easier to transport.
