Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Charred Asparagus

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (15-20 stalks) fresh asparagus
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp Mushroom and Thyme Compound Butter (see link in notes)
  • 4 slices of nice seedy bread
  • 6 slices of cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Wash and trim asparagus.
  • Add asparagus to a pan along with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and sauté the asparagus over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the pan, turn up the heat to high and continue to sauté the asparagus until nicely charred. Remove the asparagus from the pan and set aside. Slice the cheddar cheese and set aside.
  • Next, butter four slices of seedy bread with Mushroom and Thyme Compound Butter. (You can find a link to the butter recipe here).
  • Place two slices of bread, butter-side down in a pan. Divide the charred asparagus among the two slices of bread, top with cheese and then the other two slices of bread, butter side up.
  • Toast the sandwiches over medium heat, flipping as needed to ensure even browning on both sides of the sandwich. You'll know the sandwiches are done when the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown on both sides. Enjoy!
