Spread half a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on two slices of the bread.
Spread half a tablespoon of yellow mustard on the other two slices of bread.
Place one slice of low-fat cheese on each of the mayonnaise-spread bread slices.
Layer the tomato slices evenly over the cheese slices, followed by a lettuce leaf on each.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the lettuce.
Top each sandwich with the mustard-spread bread slices, mustard side down, to complete them.
Lightly spray the outside of each sandwich with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve warm.
