Healthy Cheese Snack

Instructions

Step 1 Preheat a grill or sandwich press.

Step 2 Spread a coat of cream cheese (or your chosen spread)
on 2 of the 4 bread slices. Place slices of tomato on each
coated bread slice. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Step 3 Cover with the remaining 2 bread slices. Press slices
gently together.

Step 4 Place in sandwich press, or on an ovenproof baking
sheet lined with cooking paper if you’re using an oven grill.
Cook until bread is medium-brown.

Step 5 Remove from oven or sandwich press. Allow to cool
on your plate.

Toasty tips

• The toaster’s a no-no! Never use a conventional bread toaster
for this recipe because cheese will get stuck and you simply
won’t believe the mess! Really. Don’t. The experiment’s not
worth it.

• Go wild! Add a tablespoon of finely chopped onion to the cheese
before you cook it, or try adding capsicum, pineapple, ham or
mushroom.

• French-styles. For a more nutritious meal, crack an egg, bea
t it with a fork, and dip your bread in it before you toast it. It’s just
like French toast, but with cheese inside.
