Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole wheat bread slices
- 40 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Low-fat ham slices
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat butter spread
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a sandwich press over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of low-fat butter spread on one side of each slice of whole wheat bread. This will help achieve a crispy outer layer.
On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the Dijon mustard evenly.
Place the two slices of low-fat ham on top of the mustard spread.
Grate or thinly slice the low-fat cheddar cheese and distribute evenly over the ham.
Sprinkle ground black pepper over the cheese for added flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter side facing outwards, to form a sandwich.
Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet or sandwich press. If using a skillet, press down gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting and flip once the first side is golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the toastie from the heat and let it cool slightly before cutting it in half for easier handling. Serve immediately.
