Ingredients
- 2 slices slices of high-protein whole-grain bread
- 3 slices slices of lean ham
- 2 slices slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup baby spinach
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
While the skillet is heating, whisk the egg with salt and pepper in a small bowl until well beaten.
Step 3
Pour the beaten egg into the heated skillet and quickly scramble it, keeping the egg pieces small. Once cooked, transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to the heat.
Step 5
Spread Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 6
Layer the sandwich: place one slice of bread mustard side up on a cutting board. Add one slice of cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, spinach, three slices of ham, and the remaining slice of cheese.
Step 7
Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, mustard side down.
Step 8
Add olive oil or butter to the skillet. Once melted and hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet.
Step 9
Press down lightly with a spatula and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Step 10
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwich rest for a minute. Slice in half and serve immediately.
