Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
4 slices of (sourdough) bread
Soft butter, for spreading
150g sliced cheese, a mixture of cooking mozzarella, Cheddar and Gruyère (or similar cheese mix)
2 tsp olive oil
1 bunch asparagus washed, trimmed and blanched by boiling for 1 minute then running under a cold tap
Veg Portions / Serving: 1
Turn seasonal veg into comfort food this spring with this amazing, indulgent asparagus grilled cheese!
Method:
Butter the bread on both sides. Layer each piece of bread with the cheese slices.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil in when hot. Put two slices of bread in the pan, cheese side up and top one slice with a handful of blanched asparagus spears. Put a lid on the pan to allow the cheese to melt and the asparagus to heat through.
After a couple of minutes, remove the lid and sandwich the two halves together. Press down firmly with a spatula.
Repeat with the second sandwich. Serve with cress, pickles, or chutney.
Let the kids butter the bread and top with cheese slices.
