Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 slice (about 20g) low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices lean deli ham
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or light margarine
- 0.5 teaspoon optional Dijon mustard
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter or light margarine evenly on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard, if using, for added flavor.
Layer the low-fat mozzarella cheese and lean deli ham slices on top of the mustard or directly onto the bread if no mustard is used.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
