Grilled cheese sandwiches with goat cheese

Grilled goat cheese sandwiches

I got this recipe in my news feed on Facebook from Whole Foods. We decided to try it on Saturday. I only omitted the asparagus since we wanted to save that for tonight. These turned out very well. Since we have seen goat cheese in other flavors, you could use any other flavor. I couldn't find the goat cheese in the recipe but found cranberry goat cheese at Sprouts. And you could leave the prosciutto off and it would still taste good.

Ingredients

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and halved crosswise
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
16 slices Health Starts Here® Whole Grain Bread
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto (8 slices)
1 (8-ounce) log Wellspring™ Creamery Cranberry Orange Goat Cheese Olive oil spray

Method

Preheat 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 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.
