Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ounce low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole ripe tomato
- 3 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and crisp. This will provide a nice crunchy texture for your sandwich.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the tomato thinly, making sure to use only half to avoid the sandwich becoming too juicy.
Grate or finely slice the low-fat cheddar cheese into a portion that fits comfortably on the bread. One ounce usually works well for a single sandwich.
Spread half a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread, ensuring an even coating.
Place the cheese evenly across one slice of bread. Layer the tomato slices over the cheese, slightly overlapping them.
Scatter the fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for an added burst of flavor.
Season the sandwich fillings with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, adjusting according to taste.
Complete the sandwich by placing the second slice of toasted bread on top of the fillings, mayonnaise side down.
Gently press down on the sandwich, then cut it diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy, fresh, and flavorful combination.
