Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Asparagus

Add asparagus and thousand island dressing to a ham and cheese sandwich and you've got a real treat.

Here’s what you are going to need:

8 Fresh Asparagus Spears (I don’t recommend you use canned)
2 tablespoons of butter
1 large clove of garlic
Lemon Pepper seasoning
2 slices of sour dough bread
1/2 of a thin slice of country ham
2 slices of provolone cheese
3 rings of Vidalia onion, or other sweet onion
2 tablespoons of Thousand Island Dressing

Here’s what you need to do:

Heat a pot of water to boiling.

Snap the woody ends off of the asparagus spears.
Add the asparagus spears and and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove from boiling water and place into ice water. Set aside.

Brown the country ham in a medium skillet. Cut in half and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon of the butter along with the clove of garlic that has been mashed.

Add the Asparagus spears to the pan and sprinkle with Lemon Pepper Seasoning.
Sauté until tender but crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from pan (do not remove butter). Set aside.
