Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices French or Italian bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash the asparagus spears and trim off the woody ends. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the asparagus spears to the skillet.
Step 3
Cook the asparagus for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
Take two slices of bread and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each. Combine Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl, then spread this mixture evenly over the mayonnaise layer.
Step 5
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the spread on each piece of bread.
Step 6
Add 6 cooked asparagus spears on top of the cheese for each sandwich, then cover with another slice of cheese.
Step 7
Top the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread.
Step 8
Using the same skillet, cook the sandwiches over medium heat, pressing down lightly with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve immediately.
