Why this works
A rich, high-calorie toastie with substantial protein, but also high in saturated fat and salt.
Protein-rich. Bacon and mozzarella provide a solid protein hit, supporting satiety and muscle repair.
High saturated fat. Butter, bacon and mozzarella make this dish high in saturated fat, which should be limited for heart health.
Salty ingredients. Bacon, salsa and cheese contribute a relatively high sodium content, so this is best enjoyed occasionally.
Method
- Heat a frying pan or sandwich toaster over a medium heat.
- Lay out 2 slices of bread and spread butter on the outside of each slice.
- On the inside of one slice, spread the hot salsa dip, then top with the bacon and mozzarella cheese.
- Add a spoonful of Greek coconut yoghurt if you want a cool, tangy finish, then close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
- Cook the toastie in the pan or sandwich toaster for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the bread is golden and the mozzarella is melted.
- Slice and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
