Recipe from British Asparagus

Ingredients Method

Four slices of sourdough bread
Soft butter
150g sliced cheese, a mixture of cooking mozzarella, Cheddar and Gruyère
2tsp olive oil
1 bunch British asparagus washed, trimmed and blanched

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.
