Asparagus Grilled Cheese Sandwich by Lynn Ogryzlo
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus spears, washed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Ontario soy oil
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) grainy mustard
- 8 slices Ontario Gouda cheese
- 1 loaf of sourdough bread
- 8 slices, Ontario ham, thinly sliced
- fresh farm butter, room temperature
- Ontario salt
Instructions
- Toss the asparagus in the oil and season well with salt. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut 8 slices of bread and lay them on a clean work surface. Spread mustard on 4 slices and top with a slice of cheese. Lay spears of asparagus on each cheese slice, then ham and cover with a slice of sourdough.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat. Butter both the top and bottom of the sandwiches and lay in the skillet. Cook until the sandwiches begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the sandwich over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Enjoy warm. Makes 4 sandwiches. Refrigerate until needed.
