- 4 teaspoons olive oil or cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard or bottled ranch dressing

1. Brush one-side of bread slightly with oil. Brush other side of bread slices with honey mustard. Top the mustard sides of four of the bread slices with cheese. Top cheese with cucumber, spinach, and red onion. Top with remaining bread slices, mustard sides down.

2. Preheat an indoor electric grill or a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the grill rack. If using a covered grill, close lid. Grill sandwiches until bread is golden and cheese is melted. (For a covered grill, allow 3 to 5 minutes. For an uncovered grill or skillet, allow 6-8 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling.) With a long serrated knife, cut sandwiches in half.
notes
I used mayonnaise instead of oil because it helps to make it grill golden. Also you can use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
