Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 slices Low sodium cooked ham
- 2 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Mustard, preferably low sodium
- 1 pinch Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the two slices of whole grain bread on a cutting board.
Butter one side of each slice using the unsalted butter. This side will be the outer side that touches the pan.
Flip the slices so the unbuttered sides are facing up.
Lay both slices of low sodium cheddar cheese evenly on one slice of the unbuttered side of the bread.
Add the two slices of low sodium cooked ham on top of the cheese.
If using, spread the low sodium mustard evenly over the other slice of bread and sprinkle a pinch of fresh ground black pepper.
Close the sandwich with the buttered sides facing outward.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until it's warm, but not smoking.
Once heated, place the sandwich in the pan.
Cook the toastie for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Press it down gently using a spatula.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread has browned and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the pan and cut in half diagonally to serve.
