Produce departments are overflowing with spring asparagus. Try some fresh asparagus recipes this year, starting with this easy asparagus and ham panini recipe.
The quick and fresh sandwich recipe is made with fresh asparagus that's been trimmed and steamed until crisp-tender. Add mayonnaise and Dijon along with the asparagus to your choice of bread (we like ciabatta, french bread or sandwich rolls). Cook the assembled sandwich in a panini press until hot and crispy on the outside.
If you don't have a panini maker, simply weigh down the sandwich with a heavy skillet or even a heavy can of vegetables. Weighing the sandwich down helps it get crispy and delicious! Serve these easy paninis for lunch or with a salad or soup for dinner.
