Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 slice Low-fat or reduced-fat cheese slice
- 2 slices Lean ham
- 1 dash Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly spray one side of each slice of whole grain bread with non-stick cooking spray.
Place one slice of bread, sprayed side down, onto a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the side of the bread facing up.
Layer the low-fat cheese slice on top of the mustard.
Add the 2 slices of lean ham over the cheese.
Top with baby spinach leaves.
Place the second slice of bread on top, sprayed side up, to complete the sandwich.
Carefully transfer the sandwich to the preheated skillet.
Grill for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown.
Flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
