Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 whole Tomato
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Whole grain mustard
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping the vegetables. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and cut the tomato into thin slices.
Step 2
Lay the two slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard onto one slice.
Step 3
On one slice of bread, layer the following ingredients: a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, the avocado slices, the spinach leaves, and the tomato slices. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the layered ingredients.
Step 5
Cover with the second slice of bread, mustard side down to form a sandwich.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray.
Step 7
Place the sandwich onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese has started to melt.
Step 8
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and allow the sandwich to cool for a minute. Slice in half and serve immediately.
