Ingredients

  • 2 slices of reduced calorie wheat or white bread or your choice of bread
  • 1-2 slices of fresh American cheese or your choice of cheese
  • 1 large slice of tomato optional
  • 1 slice red onion optional

  1. Toast the bread, ( about 2 minutes or until golden) and let cool for a few seconds. Place one slice of bread in center of a piece of paper towel. Add 1-2 slices of cheese. Add the tomato and the onion, sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
  2. Smear a little margarine on the 2nd piece of bread. Place of top, with the margarine side facing you. Wrap the sandwich up. Press down, and put in microwave for about 20 seconds.
