Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices low sodium whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 slices low sodium deli ham
- 1 slice low sodium Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Crack the egg into the skillet, sprinkle with black pepper, and cook until the whites are set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the egg carefully and cook an additional minute until the yolk is slightly firm, or longer if a firmer yolk is desired.
Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the low sodium deli ham slices and cook for 1 minute on each side until they are warmed through.
Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Butter one side of each bread slice with unsalted butter.
Layer one slice of bread, butter side down, with the cooked ham, Swiss cheese, spinach leaves, cooked egg, and top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Return the sandwich to the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
