Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 30 grams low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 medium ripe tomato
- 5 grams light olive oil spread
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Thinly slice the tomato and sprinkle the slices with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Set aside.
Grate the low-fat cheddar cheese and set aside.
Spread a light layer of the olive oil spread on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
Place one slice of bread, spread side down, onto the skillet.
Layer half of the grated cheese onto the bread on the skillet.
Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tomato slices.
Top with the second slice of bread, spread side up.
Cook for about 3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Carefully flip the toastie, using the spatula for support.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice the toastie in half, and serve immediately.
