Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 whole Tomato
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Whole grain mustard
Instructions
Begin by prepping the vegetables. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and cut the tomato into thin slices.
Lay the two slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard onto one slice.
On one slice of bread, layer the following ingredients: a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, the avocado slices, the spinach leaves, and the tomato slices. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the layered ingredients.
Cover with the second slice of bread, mustard side down to form a sandwich.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray.
Place the sandwich onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese has started to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet and allow the sandwich to cool for a minute. Slice in half and serve immediately.
