Ingredients
- 2 slices Low-sodium bread (such as whole wheat or sourdough)
- 2 slices Low-sodium ham
- 2 slices Low-sodium Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Lay the two slices of low-sodium bread on a clean work surface.
Step 2
Place a slice of low-sodium Swiss cheese on each slice of bread.
Step 3
On top of one slice of cheese, layer the low-sodium ham, ensuring it is evenly spread out.
Step 4
Sandwich the two slices of bread together with the ham and cheese in the middle.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter and olive oil together to help achieve a balanced spread that assists in browning the bread without oversaturating it.
Step 6
Using a butter knife or pastry brush, spread a thin, even layer of the butter-olive oil mixture on the top and bottom sides of the sandwich.
Step 7
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 8
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 9
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted fully.
Step 10
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.
Step 11
Slice the tosta mista in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
