The Desperate Housewife, A Simple Grilled Egg and Cheese Sandwich

You know when you get home from work and just don't want to cook dinner?  The only thing that sounds good is to put on your robe and bunny slippers and do something mindless like watch Desperate Housewives in peace.  But at the same time, you're hungry and want something warm and filling and well, comforting?  That's how I felt tonight.  I wanted steamy, hot, brothy soup and a gooey grilled cheese.  Here you go, easy, low cal but comforting with a cup-a-soup.

Ingredients

2 pcs whole grain bread

1 egg white

Salt and pepper to taste

1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese

2 tsp whole grain mustard

1/3 cup fresh spinach

1 Campari tomato, sliced

Extra virgin olive oil spray

Directions

1. Heat a small skillet over a medium heat and spray with EVOO spray. 

2. Beat one egg white and add salt and pepper to taste.  Pour the egg mixture in the heated skillet and cook until edges firm and center begins to firm about two minutes.  It will make a sort of egg pancake.  Flip your "pancake" once and let it sit for 30 seconds or so to firm and then fold the egg pancake in half and slide onto a plate.

3.  Spray EVOO spray on each side of your bread and turn the slices over.  Spread the mustard on one side and the laughing cow cheese on the other.  Top with your egg, spinach and tomato and sandwich together.

4. Place your sandwich in the skillet for about 3 minutes or so until the bottom browns and then flip once.  Wait another two or three minutes and slide your grilled cheese onto the plate.

5.  Serve with a cup of soup.
