Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Low sodium whole grain bread
- 2 slices Low sodium ham
- 1 slice Low fat cheese (such as Swiss or Cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 slices Tomato
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that gets toasted.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly on the non-buttered side of one slice of bread.
Place the slice of cheese on top of the Dijon mustard layer on the same slice of bread.
Layer the low sodium ham on top of the cheese.
Add fresh spinach leaves and tomato slices over the ham.
Top with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Place the prepared sandwich gently onto the preheated skillet.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Remove the toast from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm.
