Just roast the asparagus, heat up a frying pan or panini press, and assemble your sandwich. You could also roast your asparagus on the BBQ and make this grilled cheese on the BBQ on a nice summer day!

Author: The Edgy Veg

Recipe type: Main

Cuisine: Vegan

Serves: 2 Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 bunch asparagus
• Vegan cheese shreds or cheese slices, I used cheddar
• 4 slices bread, I used rye
• 1 tbsp basil pesto or spread of choice
• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Wash asparagus and break off the tough ends. Toss in olive oil, season with a pinch of salt, and a generous sprinkle of pepper to lightly coat them and place on a baking sheet.
2. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until tender.
3. Heat skillet or panini press on medium heat. While you are heating, spread the butter on one side of both pieces of bread. Spread pesto on one piece of toast on the opposite side of the butter or oil.
4. Place the vegan cheese in the middle and top with roasted asparagus, create a sandwich. Place on grill for 3-5 minutes; be sure to give it time to toast. Do not rush this step by turning up the heat or your bread will burn!
5. Flip it over, allowing the other side to the grill.
