Spread the goat cheese on one side of all the bread slices. Lay down one thin layer of red peppers on three of the pieces of pread. Layer cucumbers on top, followed by the spinach, and dressed butter lettuce. Top with the other piece of goat cheese slathered bread. Press down to make all the ingredients compact.
