Best Asparagus Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes
GROWN UP GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH WITH ASPARAGUS AND BRIE
Who says grilled cheese is just for kids? Don't get me wrong, I still love a greasy diner-style grilled cheese once in awhile, but this fancier version is incredibly delicious and decadent. Brie and asparagus are really ideally suited for each other so I almost always combine them when I'm making anything where I would use brie.

Steps:
- Slice your bread if it isn't pre-sliced and butter on one side of both slices.
- Add your cheeses, black pepper, thyme and prosciutto (if adding) to the non buttered side of one of the slices.
- Rip the woody end of the asparagus spear off of the bottom and discard. Then heat your olive oil on medium low heat in a saute pan. When hot, add the asparagus spears. Cook until the spears are tender and have a bright fresh green hue. Add a pinch of kosher salt. Remove from the pan and add to the top of your cheese. Close up the sandwich with the butter side out.
- You can cook your grilled cheese in the same pan you used for the asparagus. Just heat it up again, add the sandwich and cook until golden, and all the cheese is thoroughly melted (will take longer if you use a thicker slice of bread).

ASPARAGUS GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH RECIPE
The other day I got a reader request for an asparagus grilled cheese sandwich topped with an egg which sounded good. I was immediatly thinking about a croque-madame which is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with an egg and I was thinking a fried egg. It was the end of the week however, and although I was lucky enough to have some asparagus left in the fridge, I was fresh out of eggs so I had to settle for just an asparagus grilled cheese sandwich. Since this sandwich was only going to have a few ingredients

Steps:
- Toss the asparagus in the oil, salt and pepper.
- Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until tender, about 10-30 minutes. (Note: Roasting time can vary greatly depending on how thick your asparagus is.)
- Butter the outside of each slice of bread, spread the mustard on the inside, sprinkle half of the cheese on one slice of bread, top with the asparagus, the remaining cheese and finally the other slice of bread.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the sandwich and grill until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.
