Chicken Brie Sandwich with Avocado and Dijon

Whenever there's leftover roast chicken, the best thing ever (aside from maybe attacking the cold carcass like a ravenous tyrannosaur the next day) is having a cheese melt sandwich. This is one of my favourite things to bring to work (we have a toaster oven and it makes my day so often!) or just have on a lazy Saturday brunch.

Tips:
- If possible, use a loaf of bakery bread instead of pre-sliced sandwich Wonderbread 

- Spread a generous slather of dijon mustard
- Cut thick slabs of chicken, but cube before so it warms easier
- Use brie. Any kind. Cut thin so it melts quicker
- Slice avocado into thin-ish crescents - the bigger the piece, the less likely it'll slip out when you bite into it
- Grind some fresh pepper over the avocado

My one regret about today was that I toasted the crap out of my bread by putting on the wrong settings (damn you broil vs. bake!) Anyway it still tasted good after scraping the darker patches off, but it fell apart and my dignity was compromised while attempting to eat it.
