Serves 8
Time 30 min
This grown-up grilled cheese features cranberry-orange goat cheese layered with roasted asparagus, salty prosciutto and a touch of pesto on hearty whole-grain bread.
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and halved crosswise
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
- 16 slices whole grain bread
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto (8 slices)
- 1 (8.0-ounce) log Wellspring™ Creamery Cranberry Orange Goat Cheese
- Olive spray oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
On a large baking sheet, toss asparagus with oil, salt and pepper, and then roast until just tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread pesto onto 8 slices of bread, and then spread goat cheese onto remaining 8 slices.
Top goat cheese with prosciutto and asparagus and then with pesto-covered bread.
Generously spray sandwiches on both sides with olive spray oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, cook sandwiches, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and hot throughout, 6 to 8 minutes total.
Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half and serve.
