Fried egg and grilled asparagus sandwich

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2 to 4 eggs (1 to 2 eggs per person, as desired)
• 2 sandwich rolls, split in half
• 1/2 pound asparagus, washed, dried and trimmed of ends
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, plus a little extra
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Arrange the asparagus spears on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
2. Roll the spears so they’re evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
3. Brush a small amount of the olive oil over the insides of your sandwich rolls.
4. Grill the asparagus for about three to five minutes, turning constantly, until grill marks begin to appear.
5. As the asparagus is finishing, place the bread on the grill, cut sides down, just for a minute or so, until the bread gets crunchy and toasted.
6. Remove the asparagus and bread from the grill and keep warm.
7. Meanwhile, cook your eggs in a skillet, using the nonstick cooking spray, until they are cooked to your liking.
8. Add the egg to the sandwich roll, top with several asparagus spears for each sandwich and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.

This is a great sandwich for any of your Meatless Monday meals!
