Ingredients
- 2 slices Low sodium whole grain bread
- 2 slices Low sodium cooked ham
- 1 slice Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Lettuce leaf
- 0.5 medium Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Low sodium mustard
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice half a tomato into thin, round pieces.
Step 2
Spread half of the unsalted butter evenly over one side of each slice of the bread.
Step 3
On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, spread the low sodium mustard evenly.
Step 4
Layer the sandwich by first placing the lettuce leaf over the mustard-covered slice, followed by the slices of low sodium cooked ham.
Step 5
Place the slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
Step 6
Add the slices of tomato over the cheese and sprinkle with black pepper for added flavor.
Step 7
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Step 8
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 9
Place the sandwich on the preheated skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, about 2-3 more minutes.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet, allow it to cool slightly, and serve warm.
