Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ounce low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole ripe tomato
- 3 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and crisp. This will provide a nice crunchy texture for your sandwich.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the tomato thinly, making sure to use only half to avoid the sandwich becoming too juicy.
Step 3
Grate or finely slice the low-fat cheddar cheese into a portion that fits comfortably on the bread. One ounce usually works well for a single sandwich.
Step 4
Spread half a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Place the cheese evenly across one slice of bread. Layer the tomato slices over the cheese, slightly overlapping them.
Step 6
Scatter the fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for an added burst of flavor.
Step 7
Season the sandwich fillings with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, adjusting according to taste.
Step 8
Complete the sandwich by placing the second slice of toasted bread on top of the fillings, mayonnaise side down.
Step 9
Gently press down on the sandwich, then cut it diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy, fresh, and flavorful combination.
