Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 Whole grain bread slices
- 10 grams Light butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Grate the reduced-fat cheddar cheese finely to help it melt easier.
Spread a thin layer of light butter or margarine on one side of each whole grain bread slice.
On the non-buttered side of one slice, spread the Dijon mustard evenly.
Layer the grated cheese over the mustard-covered bread. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the cheese for added flavor.
Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwich onto the preheated skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is crisp and golden brown.
Carefully flip the toasty and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until crisp and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the cheese toasty from the skillet.
Cut the toasty in half and serve immediately.
