Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat bagel
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 4 slices Thinly sliced low-fat deli ham
- 1 slice Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 piece Tomato
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole wheat bagel in half horizontally and toast until lightly browned to your liking.
While the bagel is toasting, slice the tomato thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese on each half.
Place the thinly sliced low-fat deli ham (approximately 2 slices on each half) over the cream cheese.
Lay the slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese over one half of the ham-covered bagel.
Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheddar cheese.
Place the tomato slices evenly on top of the spinach.
Season the tomato with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Close the bagel halves together, forming a sandwich.
Place the finished bagel sandwich in a preheated skillet over medium heat, pressing lightly with a spatula, and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is slightly melted and the sandwich is warm.
Remove the bagel from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
