Ingredients

  • 40 spears Asparagus
  • 1/4 cups Olive Oil, Plus More To Brush On Bread
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 8 slices Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
  • 4 whole Cocktail Tomatoes
  • 1/2 cups Pesto
  • 12 slices Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Method

  • Heat grill to medium heat, 350 degrees to 450 degrees F.
  • Rinse asparagus and cut off woody, fibrous ends.
  • In a small bowl combine olive oil with a few dashes each of salt and pepper.
  • Using a basting brush, coat the asparagus spears in olive oil.
  • Place the asparagus on a grilling tray (to keep them from falling through the grill slats) or perpendicular to the slats on the grill.
  • Grill until softened but not limp (or to your texture preference), about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • After removing them from the grill, drizzle the spears with lime juice.
  • Brush one side of bread slices with olive oil, and toast slightly on grill.
  • Slice the cocktail tomatoes.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread 1 slice of bread with 2 tablespoons pesto.
  • Place 10 spears of asparagus on top of pesto, and top with slices of an entire cocktail tomato and 3 slices of cheese.
  • Top with another slice of bread.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Cut sandwiches in half and enjoy!
