Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain bagel
- 2 slices Low-sodium ham slices
- 1 slice Low-sodium Swiss cheese slice
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (unsalted)
- 0.5 cup Arugula leaves
- 2 slices Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Carefully slice the whole grain bagel in half using a serrated knife.
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on the cut sides of the bagel.
Place the bagel halves butter-side down on the heated skillet and toast for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the toasted bagel from the skillet and spread 1 teaspoon of unsalted mustard on the bottom half.
Layer 2 slices of low-sodium ham evenly over the mustard.
Place a slice of low-sodium Swiss cheese over the ham.
Add 2 slices of tomato and a small handful of arugula leaves on top of the cheese.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bagel.
Return the assembled bagel to the skillet, and cover with a lid. Allow the sandwich to cook for 2-3 minutes more until the cheese has just melted (ensure not to overheat, which can cause the bagel base to over-toast).
Remove the bagel from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
