Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole grain bread slices
- 50 grams Low-fat cheese
- 50 grams Lean ham
- 1 small Fresh tomato
- 1 handful Baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 pinch Oregano
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the fresh tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Lay out the two slices of whole grain bread on a flat surface.
Evenly layer the ham onto one of the slices of bread.
Top the ham with a single layer of tomato slices.
Add the low-fat cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and oregano over the cheese for added flavor.
Place a handful of baby spinach over the cheese.
Cover with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Brush the top of the sandwich with half of the olive oil.
Place the sandwich oil-side down onto the hot skillet.
Brush the other side of the sandwich with the remaining olive oil.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is equally golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove the tosti from the skillet, allow it to cool slightly, then cut in half if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy cheese and ham tosti.
