Cured Ham and Cheese Sandwich (Low-Calorie)
An Italian-style sandwich built on cured ham and reduced-fat cheese, layered with tomato, arugula and Dijon mustard on crusty whole wheat bread. Baked briefly to soften the cheese, it delivers the classic salty, savoury contrast while trimming fat and calories from traditional butter-heavy versions.
