👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Trim the tough woody ends off the asparagus spears. Drizzle them with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and lightly charred.
3. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice to create a simple aioli. Season to taste.
4. Spread a generous amount of the lemon-garlic aioli on one side of each sourdough bread slice. Layer provolone cheese on one slice.
5. Arrange the grilled asparagus over the cheese, then top with the second slice of bread, aioli side down. Lightly butter the outside of the sandwich if desired.
6. Grill the assembled sandwich in the grill pan or on a flat-top grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from heat, cut in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your authentic Grilled Asparagus Sandwich!
