Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 oz asparagus (washed and trimmed of woody ends (thinner is best))
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 slices of sourdough or french bread in a round loaf
  • butter
  • dijon mustard
  • shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 8 slices Swiss or Baby Swiss cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until asparagus is crisp-tender and started to turn slightly brown in places. Remove from oven and cut the spears in half to fit your sandwich bread.
  • In the meantime, butter one side of each slice of bread.
  • Turn over four of the slices and lightly spread dijon mustard on them. Sprinkle a little bit of parmesan cheese on top of the dijon on those four slices as well. Next place one slice of swiss cheese on top of dijon.
  • Then place 4-6 asparagus spears on top of swiss cheese.
  • Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese over the asparagus. Then place another slice of swiss cheese on top. Place buttered bread slice (buttered side up) on top of cheese.
