How to Make Healthy Cheese Sandwich

Preheat your microwave to medium-high.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.
Cut the cheese into three portions: two large (approximately 50g each) and one small (approximately 25g).
Divide one large cheese portion into four equal pieces and spread evenly over the bottom half of the baguette.
Add your sliced tomato (about 1 medium tomato, sliced).
Divide the small cheese portion into four equal pieces and spread evenly over the tomato.
Add cucumber slices to your preference (about ½ a cucumber, sliced).
Divide the remaining large cheese portion into four equal pieces and spread evenly over the cucumber.
Top with the other half of the baguette.
Wrap the sandwich tightly in paper towel and seal with scotch tape (ensure no gaps to allow steam).
Microwave for 3 minutes on medium-high.
Carefully remove the sandwich (it will be hot!) and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
