Ingredients

  • 2 slices of whole grain bread

  3. 3

    Top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.

  4. 4

    Optionally, lightly butter the outside of the sandwich for a crisp finish.

  5. 5

    Place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate.

Chef's tip

Ensure even cooking by allowing the sandwich to rest briefly after microwaving; this lets the heat distribute evenly.
