Ingredients
- 8 Asparagus spears
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 slices Cooked ham
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Set aside.
Step 4
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on one side of each of the 4 slices of bread.
Step 5
Layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of provolone cheese, and 4 grilled asparagus spears on 2 slices of bread, with the mustard side facing up. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down, creating 2 sandwiches.
Step 6
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer side of each sandwich (top and bottom).
Step 7
Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place a heavy pan or spatula on top of the sandwiches to press them down.
Step 8
Cook the paninis for 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove from the heat, slice the paninis in half, and serve warm.
