- 6 to 8 very thin asparagus spears, tough ends snapped off
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Two 6-inch lengths store-bought or Four-Hour Baguettes
- 3 ounces Taleggio cheese, sliced
- 4 thin slices (2 ounces) prosciutto
- Heat a panini or sandwich press according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Brush the asparagus with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place them on the press, pull the top down, and cook until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly
- Cut the baguette pieces in half lengthwise.
- Spread some cheese on the bottom half of each baguette.
- Arrange the cooked asparagus on top of the cheese, pressing lightly on them so they adhere.
- Drape the prosciutto slices over the asparagus.
- Top the sandwiches with the other halves of the baguettes.
- Put the sandwiches on the press, pull the top down, and cook until they are browned and crisp and the cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how hot your machine is.
