Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with a twist—the Dairy-Free Classic Cheese and Ham Toastie. This recipe transforms a beloved favorite into a lactose-free delight, featuring creamy dairy-free cheese slices, savory ham, and the added crunch of fresh baby spinach tucked between hearty whole grain bread. A hint of Dijon mustard delivers a subtle tang that perfectly complements the rich, gooey filling. Lightly toasted in dairy-free margarine, each sandwich achieves golden-brown perfection in just minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying snack, this recipe is ready in under 15 minutes and offers a delicious option for those seeking dairy-free alternatives without compromising on flavor.
Start by spreading one side of each bread slice with dairy-free margarine. Ensure the margarine reaches the edges for even toasting.
On the non-buttered side of 2 bread slices, spread 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard on each.
Place 2 slices of dairy-free cheese on top of each mustard-spread bread slice.
Layer 2 slices of ham on top of the cheese on each sandwich.
Distribute the baby spinach leaves evenly over the ham layers.
Top with the remaining cheese slices for each sandwich.
Complete the sandwiches by topping them with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet once it's warm.
Cook the toasties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut each sandwich diagonally, and serve warm.
