Best of Summer Sandwiches

These sandwiches are simple and delicious. The ingredients can easily be changed slightly to make delicious variations. There are two different sandwiches here- one with mayonnaise, avocado, tomato and basil and one with melted brie, avocado, tomato and basil. They're especially tasty at the height of tomato season. (Don't worry- the tomatoes pictured are heirloom, not sad pasty tomatoes)

Ingredients:

• Pain au Levain
• Tomato
• Basil
• Avocado
• Brie or Mayonnaise (other tasty ideas- fresh mozzarella or goat cheese)
• salt
• black or cayenne pepper
  
• Optional: Coppa or Prosciutto

Notes:

1. I like my sandwiches toasty- if I'm going to melt the cheese I broil or toast the bread first and then stick it under the broiler again with the cheese on top. This keeps the bread from getting soggy.
2. I'm not going to write directions because sandwich assembly is fairly self explanatory.
