Why this works
Energy-dense and high in protein, but also very high in saturated fat and sodium.
High protein from ham and mozzarella. Provides a substantial protein hit at around 37 g per serving, which supports satiety and muscle repair.
High saturated fat and salt. Mozzarella, butter, ham, garlic mayonnaise and added salt make this a high-saturated-fat, high-sodium sandwich.
Limited fibre and micronutrient variety. This recipe is very low in fibre and vegetable content, so it offers little gut support compared with a more balanced meal.
Method
- Spread garlic mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice if using bread, then layer cooked ham, mozzarella and a little chilli sauce between two slices.
- Butter the outside of the sandwich lightly.
- Cook in a frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Season with a little salt and black pepper, then serve hot.
