Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
- 0.333 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat cream cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons Unsalted butter or light butter spread
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1/2 teaspoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of whole wheat bread. This will be the outer surface that touches the pan.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), and garlic powder (if using) until smooth.
Step 3
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of one of the bread slices.
Step 4
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Step 5
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outward, to complete the sandwich.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until warm.
Step 7
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
