- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Spread the butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Place both slices of bread butter-side-down onto the skillet.
Step 5
On one slice, layer the slices of ham, followed by the cheese slices.
Step 6
On the other slice, spread the Greek yogurt mixture evenly, and then layer the baby spinach on top.
Step 7
Allow the bread to toast gently in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 8
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the ham and cheese layer.
Step 9
Carefully combine the two halves by placing the spinach side on top of the ham and cheese side, creating a sandwich.
Step 10
Press down gently with a spatula and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once to ensure even toasting.
