Wheat bread would be a good stand-in for the white bread in this modified ham-and-cheese sandwich. A creamy spread of sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese adds lots of flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream |
1 tablespoon grated fresh parmesan cheese |
8 (1 1/2-ounce) slices hearty white bread |
16 (1/2-ounce) slices 33%-less- sodium ham |
8 (1/8-inch-thick) slices tomato (about 1 medium) |
8 (1/2-ounce) slices reduced-fat swiss cheese |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine mustard, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
2. Spread 2 teaspoons mustard mixture over each bread slice. Top each of the 4 bread slices with 4 ham slices, 2 tomato slices, 2 cheese slices, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh chives. Top with the remaining bread slices. Lightly coat outside of bread with cooking spray.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until cheese melts and bread is toasted (leave cast-iron skillet on sandwiches while they cook). Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
