1 tsp reduced-salt margarine
1 slice reduced-fat cheese

Cracked pepper (optional)

Tips

  • Cheese provides calcium. Calcium is needed for healthy bones and teeth.
  • Choose multigrain or wholemeal bread, or a high-fibre loaf for a fibre boost. Fibre helps keep you fuller for longer.
  • Using reduced-salt margarine can help lower your sodium intake.

  • If your bread is a bit stale, you can make a toasted sandwich.
  • Don’t waste the bread crusts – use to make the sandwich or turn into breadcrumbs.

  • You can save money by using home brand bread, margarine and cheese.
  • Buying block cheese and slicing it yourself is cheaper than buying pre-sliced cheese.

Method

Step 1
Spread the bread with margarine.

Step 2
Top one slice of bread with the cheese and tomato and sprinkle with pepper.

Step 3
Place the other piece of bread on top and cut into your favourite shape.

Food safety tip: If you are packing for lunch, cheese needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
