1
Prepare the cucumber and cheddar
Cutting Board
Kitchen knife

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.

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.
