These are great in spring or summer when fresh tomatoes and asparagus are plentiful. A lovely sandwich for lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients:
16 thin asparagus spears (1 bundle)
3 tablespoons fat-free miracle whip
1 tablespoon pesto sauce
2 slices sourdough bread, toasted
2 slices ham
4 slices tomatoes
2 slices lowfat mozzarella cheese
fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears and peel if needed. Steam spears, covered, for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Preheat the broiler on the oven.
3. Combine Miracle Whip and pesto in a small bowl and mix with a whisk until well blended.
4. Spread the pesto-mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
5. Place 8 spears of asparagus, 1 slice of ham, 2 tomato slices and 1 slice of cheese on top of each bread slice.
6. Place sandwiches on a broiler pan or baking sheet and broil about 3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with pepper.
