- Mix the cream cheese and cucumber strips in a bowl, add the grated Emmentaler and season with honey and pepper. Cut the remaining cheese into slices.
- Wash the lettuce and drain well. Toast the slices of bread on a contact grill or in a pan, spread with the cucumber spread and top with slices of cheese, green salad and ham. Top each with the second slice of bread and serve.
