Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain bagel
- 2 slices Low-sodium ham slices
- 1 slice Low-sodium Swiss cheese slice
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (unsalted)
- 0.5 cup Arugula leaves
- 2 slices Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Carefully slice the whole grain bagel in half using a serrated knife.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on the cut sides of the bagel.
Step 4
Place the bagel halves butter-side down on the heated skillet and toast for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5
Remove the toasted bagel from the skillet and spread 1 teaspoon of unsalted mustard on the bottom half.
Step 6
Layer 2 slices of low-sodium ham evenly over the mustard.
Step 7
Place a slice of low-sodium Swiss cheese over the ham.
Step 8
Add 2 slices of tomato and a small handful of arugula leaves on top of the cheese.
Step 9
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bagel.
Step 10
Return the assembled bagel to the skillet, and cover with a lid. Allow the sandwich to cook for 2-3 minutes more until the cheese has just melted (ensure not to overheat, which can cause the bagel base to over-toast).
Step 11
Remove the bagel from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
