Mozzarella, Avocado, Tomato, Arugula & Mustard Toast

I really love toast. I think toasted bread  makes every sandwich better.  My brother is actually the one who schooled me on toasting my bread for sandwiches & layering the topping just so, so that when you cut through it there is a pretty cross section to display. This also feeds my need to make all of my food pretty. Chris will call it "fancy" but really I think it's just an  occupational hazard because I'm always picturing how it would look in (well) a picture.  I also think every meal deserves attention to how it looks, therefore breakfast, lunch & dinner may take a few minutes longer in our house.

2. In those two minutes that the bread is slice a tomato & season with salt & pepper & set aside.
3. Flip toast over & spread about a tablespoon of sneaky heat mustard onto each side.
4. Next, layer two slices of tomato on each toast.
5. Then, layer a piece of mozzarella on top of each slice of bread.
6. Place back under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is just oozy enough to almost look like liquid.

8. Lay a couple of pieces of sliced avocado on top of each toast.
9. Sprinkle arugula over each piece.
