Description

A low-calorie grilled cheese sandwich that’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices Sara Lee 45 calorie bread
  • 1 slice thin sliced Colby Jack cheese (40 calorie slice)
  • 1 spray butter flavored cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Spray both slices of bread with cooking spray, holding the can 6–8 inches away to coat evenly.
  2. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Place one slice of bread, spray side down, in the skillet.
  4. Top with the cheese slice, then add the second slice of bread, spray side up.
  5. Cook until the bread is toasty and the cheese has melted, flipping once after 2–3 minutes per side.

Notes

For best results, use a nonstick skillet and pre-warm the cheese for quicker melting.
