Ingredients

• 1 piece Whole wheat bagel

• 4 slices Thinly sliced low-fat deli ham
• 1 slice Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 piece Tomato
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the whole wheat bagel in half horizontally and toast until lightly browned to your liking.

Step 2

While the bagel is toasting, slice the tomato thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Once the bagel is toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese on each half.

Step 4

Place the thinly sliced low-fat deli ham (approximately 2 slices on each half) over the cream cheese.

Step 5

Lay the slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese over one half of the ham-covered bagel.

Step 6

Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Place the tomato slices evenly on top of the spinach.

Step 8

Season the tomato with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Close the bagel halves together, forming a sandwich.

Step 10

Place the finished bagel sandwich in a preheated skillet over medium heat, pressing lightly with a spatula, and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is slightly melted and the sandwich is warm.

Step 11

Remove the bagel from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
