Grilled Asparagus Sandwiches

Heat grill to medium heat, 350º to 450ºF.

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!
