Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 slice (about 20g) low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices lean deli ham
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or light margarine
- 0.5 teaspoon optional Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter or light margarine evenly on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
Step 2
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard, if using, for added flavor.
Step 3
Layer the low-fat mozzarella cheese and lean deli ham slices on top of the mustard or directly onto the bread if no mustard is used.
Step 4
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown.
Step 7
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
