This quick and tasty ham and cheese toasted sandwich packs nutrition for breakfast or lunch. For Nunes, this would equal two ounces whole grains, one ounce meat, about 70 discretionary calories (from the cream cheese and cheddar cheese), and about 1/3 cup of her dairy servings. Ingredients:
1/4 cup (2 ounces) tub light cream cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 (1-ounce) slices whole wheat bread |
4 ounces low-fat deli ham |
8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato (about 1 large) |
1/4 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; stir well.
3. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture over each of 4 bread slices. Top each with 1 ounce ham, 2 tomato slices, and 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese. Place sandwich halves and remaining 4 slices bread on a baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is lightly browned. Top each sandwich half with remaining bread slice. Serve immediately.
