Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 1/2 cucumber and 1/4 red onion into rounds. Rinse and pat dry the 4 lettuce leaves.

  2. Step 2

    Spread 1 tbsp butter on one side of each of the 4 bread slices.

  3. Step 3

    Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Top each with 2 cheese slices and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cucumber, onion, and 2 lettuce leaves on top of the melted cheese on each slice.

  5. Step 5

    Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes more.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
