Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 slice Reduced-fat cheese (such as low-fat cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella slices)
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
- 1 pinch Pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat Greek yogurt evenly across one side of each slice of whole grain bread. This will act as a natural, low-fat alternative to butter.
Step 2
Place a slice of reduced-fat cheese between the bread slices with the yogurt-coated sides facing outward.
Step 3
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper (optional) over the cheese before closing the sandwich.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 5
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 6
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 7
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, and slice in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
