Don's Toasted Cheese
2 slices whole-grain, whole wheat, high fiber sandwich bread
Butter-flavored vegetable oil spray
2 sliced (3/4 ounces each) non-fat American cheese product
1/2 ounce grated, reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Toast both sandwich bread slices. Lightly spray both sides of bread with butter-flavored vegetable oil. Place one slice of non-fat cheese on one slice of toast, sprinkle on reduced-fat cheddar, lay second slice of non-fat American on top and top with second piece of toast.
Place sandwich on a paper plate or other microwave-safe plate and place in microwave oven. Microwave on high for 10-20 seconds, or until cheese just begins to melt. Slice in half or quarters and serve immediately.
Serves one.
