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.

Kids in the kitchen:

Let the kids butter the bread and top with cheese slices.
