Prepare the cucumber and cheddar

Wash and dry the cucumber. Slice it in half lengthwise, place the halves cut-side down, and slice them crosswise into thin half-moons. Cut the cheddar into thin pieces that will fit within the bread.

An adult should handle the knife.

Keep the cucumber halves cut-side down while slicing for stability.

2

Butter the bread

Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Place one bread slice butter-side down in the skillet, arrange the cheddar evenly on top, and add the second bread slice butter-side up.

An adult should handle the hot skillet.

Cook and flip the sandwich

Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully, cover again, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.

An adult should handle the hot skillet and sandwich flipping.

5

Cool and cut the sandwich
