How to Make Farmer's Sandwich

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread 2 tablespoons of honey mustard on three slices of bread.
Thinly slice 1/4 of a red onion and sprinkle evenly over the honey mustard on two slices of bread.
On one slice of bread, layer 1/2 of a ripe avocado (mashed), and 1 ounce of cheddar cheese.
If using, add 2.5 oz of thinly sliced corned beef on top of the cheese.
On the other slice of bread, layer 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 of a medium tomato (sliced), and 1 ounce of cheddar cheese.
Bake both prepared bread slices in the preheated oven for 2 minutes.
Carefully assemble the sandwich: place one prepared slice on a plate, top with the third slice of bread, then top with the second prepared slice.
Secure the sandwich with a long skewer or toothpicks if needed.
Cut the sandwich in half (or into smaller portions) and serve immediately. For a quicker option, skip step 7 and enjoy as two open-faced sandwiches.
