Tomato & Ham Breakfast Melt

From EatingWell: The EatingWell Diet (2007)

We seek out thin sliced bread for this easy breakfast because it has less calories than regular bread. Several national brands distribute “thin” varieties. Otherwise buy a whole loaf and use a bread knife to carefully slice it.
