Roasted Red Bell Pepper Avocado Grilled Cheese

Sandwiches are a very popular snack liked by both kids and adults. The ways to make a sandwich are endless. Let me share a little anecdote with you all about the origin of sandwiches. I read this little story in a supermarket cafe near my home. Sandwich was apparently invented when a snack was demanded by an Earl from his chef. The Earl wanted a snack for which he would not have had to use a fork and knife to cut his food. The chef thought about serving bread and vegetables in this unique way and thus the ‘sandwich’ came into being. 
For this sandwich I have used roasted sweet red bell pepper, healthy and tasty avocado, creamy honey mustard sauce and cheese sandwiched between toasted slices of multi grain-seed bread.

Notes

Any colour of bell pepper can be used. I find red bell peppers extra sweet

Adjust quantity of cheese as you like

Use unsalted butter to toast sandwich, this way you can adjust salt to your taste. Remember cheese will be salted

Regular white bread or brown bread may be used. Multi seeded bread gives a nice crunch

Divide the piles of ingredients into 4 parts (or more if recipe is doubled or tripled) roughly

Sandwiches can also be grilled in a grill pan or sandwich maker
