Slice the tomato, avocado, and red onion thinly. Cut the cucumber into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until thoroughly combined.
Lay all six slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread hummus on two slices, the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on another two slices, and drizzle olive oil lightly onto the remaining two slices.
On one bread slice with hummus, layer lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and cheddar cheese.
Cover with a slice of bread with olive oil, then layer avocado, red onion, roasted red pepper, and cucumber slices on top.
Place a bread slice with the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on top, then layer with more lettuce, pickle slices, and additional cheddar cheese if desired.
Complete the sandwich stack by topping with a hummus-spread slice, hummus side down.
Press down gently to hold the structure, then use a serrated knife to cut the sandwich diagonally into halves.
Secure each half with a wooden sandwich pick to keep layers intact, if desired. Serve immediately.
