Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole-grain bread
• 85 grams Sliced turkey breast (deli or freshly roasted)
• 30 grams Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Egg whites
• 20 grams Baby spinach
• 2 spritzes Olive oil spray
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with two spritzes of olive oil spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour the egg whites into the heated skillet, spreading them into a thin layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until set, and then remove the egg whites from the skillet. Set aside.

Step 3

On a clean surface, lay one slice of whole-grain bread. If using, spread Dijon mustard across the surface of the bread.

Step 4

Layer half the turkey, the cooked egg whites, baby spinach, mozzarella cheese, and the remaining turkey on top of the bread. Place the second slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.

Step 5

Spray the skillet with olive oil again and return to medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula. Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on the other side, until the bread is browned and the cheese has melted.

Step 7

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
