    Sometimes the simple to prepare meals are the tastiest. This open-faced delight surely delivers. We’ve layered a skinny ham salad on top of toasted garlic bread, followed by fresh steamed asparagus and reduced-fat cheese then into the oven to melt. It might sound like a strange combination but wait until you taste it. The skinny on one of these delectable halves is 221 calories, 7.5 grams of fat, and 5 Weight watchers POINTS. It’s delicious and perfect to serve for brunch or lunch.

    Ingredients

    • 4 slices sourdough wheat bread or cracked wheat sourdough bread
    • 4 tablespoons reduced-fat butter
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder with parsley (we like Lawry’s)
    • 2 cups lean ham or turkey ham, chopped (from a thick slice)
    • ¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise (we like Best Foods Light)
    • 2 tablespoons mustard
    • 16 asparagus spears, steamed
    • 6 slices reduced-fat Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese, cut in half

    Directions

    1. Toast each slice of bread. Spread each with ½ tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle each with garlic powder. Cut each piece in half and place on a baking sheet.
    2. In a small bowl, mix together the ham, mayonnaise, and mustard. Place the ham salad on top of the garlic bread. Place 2 asparagus spears over the ham salad. Top each with evenly with cheese slices.
    3. Broil 3 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated and lightly brown. Serve with a fork and knife.
    4. Makes 8 halves, 1-2 per person
