Hot Salad Cheese Sandwiches

Submitted by Anu_N

"Microwave cooking is great for people in a hurry. Sandwiches like these can be heated in a paper plate covered with a paper napkin; so there's no extra washing up. And these sandwiches are particularly tasty too!"

Oh YUMMMMM!! I had to scale this down for 1...me. I used fat free cheddar and fat free sour cream. For the onion I chopped up a green onion.I microwaved mine for 1 minute 30 seconds and it was done. I served it with a lettuce/tomato salad on the side. I will be having this again soon! Thanks so much for posting!! :)

I tried this recipe on whole wheat pita halves and it came out great! Perfect for a college kid on the run.
