Asparagus & Brie Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Tender grilled asparagus meets creamy melted Brie between crispy buttered sourdough slices for an elevated lunch or light dinner.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 8–10 thin asparagus spears, trimmed
02 - 1 tsp olive oil
03 - Pinch of salt
04 - Pinch of black pepper

→ Dairy

05 - 4 oz Brie cheese, sliced
06 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

→ Bread

07 - 4 slices crusty sourdough or country bread

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or sauté for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until just tender and lightly charred. Remove from heat.
03 - Butter one side of each bread slice.
04 - Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface. Layer with half the Brie, followed by the grilled asparagus, then the remaining Brie. Top with the other bread slices, buttered side up.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
06 - Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The way the Brie gets all gooey and luscious while the asparagus keeps its bright snap
  • Its fancy enough for company but comes together in under 30 minutes
02 -
  • Dont skip the step of grilling the asparagus first, or you will end up with raw crunch inside your sandwich
  • Let the sandwiches rest for a full minute before slicing so the cheese sets slightly
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the most even browning and crunch
  • Let the Brie come to room temperature before slicing for easier assembly
