SANDWICHES

Last night I decided to go for quick and easy for dinner. I made a salad with 3 beans, green, garbanzo, and kidney beans, lettuce, onion and a few brussel sprouts. I made a garlicy oil and vinegar dressing and sprinkled it with parmensan cheese.
But I wanted to share the following recipe, Croque Monsieur, it sounds fancy but is super easy and fast.

Croque Monsieur for Two

1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp mayo or (fat free)
4 slices french bread
4 slices of your favorite ham
4 slices or shredded gruyere cheese
1 egg or egg subsitute
1/8-1/4 cup lowfat milk, I happened to use a splash of leftover 1/2 & 1/2

Combine mustard and mayo, spread on one side of bread.
Layer each slice with ham and cheese.
Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish. Dip both sides on each sandwich into egg mixture. (just like making french toast)
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat, spray with 'Pam' cooking spray. Add sandwiches to hot pan and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until light brown and the cheese is melted.
Enjoy!

Serve with a green salad.
