A cholesterol-lowering sandwich
Take an organic or sourdough wholemeal bread, spread one side of each slice with a little hummus or almond puree, garnish with thin slices of avocado and minced cooked chicken breast. Go quickly under the grill.
A sandwich rich in fiber
Replace the sandwich bread with organic wholemeal bread to avoid chemical treatment residues in the cereal shell. It is even better if it is bran or cereals to enrich it with fiber. And add thin slices of tomato between the ham and cheese.
A slimming sandwich
Remove the butter and grated cheese to brown. Take slices of sourdough bread. Swap the Comté or Emmental for 1 tsp. to s. cancoillotte (a low-fat Franche-Comté cheese) to keep the runny texture of the processed cheese, but significantly reducing the caloric intake (115 Cal / 100 g against 380).
A vegetarian croque-monsieur
Replace the ham with 1 block of smoked tofu (or basil, turmeric …) cut into thin slices in the thickness.
