Ingredients:
- 8 slices thin-sliced whole-grain bread
- 2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (1/4 cup)
- 6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoons trans-fat-free margarine
Directions:
- Lay bread on a work surface; spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese. Divide smoked salmon among 4 of the slices. Sprinkle salmon evenly with chives and pepper. Top with remaining bread slices to make 4 sandwiches.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the margarine over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches, weighed down with a heavy pan, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining margarine and sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half and serve warm.
