A traditional Croque Madame?a ham and cheese sandwich with a fried egg?is high in calories, fat and sodium. This open-faced version with deli turkey and a creamy spinach sauce makes for a lighter take on the French classic.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp flour 1 cup fat-free milk 1/16 tsp (pinch) nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 cup packed baby spinach 4 slices hearty whole grain bread (1.5 oz per slice) 8 slices (8 oz) no-salt-added, oven roasted deli turkey (such as Boar’s Head) 2 slices (1.5 oz) reduced-fat Swiss cheese 4 eggs 2 cups arugula 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Preheat oven to broil. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside. Add olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the milk while whisking. Add the nutmeg, pepper and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 3 minutes. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Lightly toast the whole grain bread. Lay the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Top each bread slice with 2 slices of turkey, 1/3 cup of hot spinach cream sauce and 1/2 slice of cheese. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until cheese melts and starts to lightly brown. Coat a nonstick sauté pan with cooking spray. Fry eggs on each side until yolk is just set or reaches an internal temperature of 145° F. Remove bread slices from the broiler. Top each with a fried egg. In a bowl, toss the arugula with the balsamic vinegar. Place 1/2 cup of dressed arugula on top of each sandwich. Recipe Cost: $7.80 Choices/Exchanges: 1 1/2 Starch, 4 Lean Protein, 1 Fat
