- 4 slices low sodium deli-sliced ham
- 4 slices reduced fat, low sodium cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter evenly across one side of each bread slice.
On the non-buttered side of two slices, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard each.
Layer 2 slices of low sodium deli-sliced ham over the mustard on each sandwich.
Place 2 slices of reduced fat, low sodium cheddar cheese over the ham on each sandwich.
Sprinkle a pinch of fresh ground black pepper over the cheese.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
