Grilled Ham Sandwich


1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 loaf french baguette bread, cut into 5-inch pieces
3 oz extra lean deli-sliced ham
1 1/2 oz low-fat hard cheese, Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 oz sweet pickles
1 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate
1 c. arugula, leaves

Directions:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for dressing.

  • Split each of the baguette pieces open crosswise. Pull out some of the soft center of bread.

  • Drizzle dressing onto both sides of baguette pieces. Layer ham, cheese and gherkin slices inside each sandwich, dividing ingredients evenly. Top each with arugula.

  • Coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-low heat.

  • Arrange sandwiches in skillet and cover with a lid that fits inside and can be pressed down onto sandwiches. Set something heavy on lid, such as a cast-iron skillet (turned over, if necessary, to keep it stable) to flatten sandwiches.

  • Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, until bread is brown and crispy. Turn sandwiches and grill second side in same manner, until cheese has melted. Cut each sandwich in half. Serve immediately.
