Open Faced Asparagus and Serrano Ham Sandwich

Asparagus and Serrano Ham Sandwich

Do you ever wake up with asparagus cravings? I did this weekend, but it was early, and I had an  equally strong need for it to involve very little effort. The perfect solution: asparagus on toast.


Ingredients (makes 1):
1 large tbsp cream cheese
1/4 avocado
handful alfalfa
few drops lemon juice
2 slices serrano ham
2 asparagus spears
dollop of butter
1 slice rustic bread

Instructions:
1. Peel the asparagus and cut off the bottom cm (or two, depending on how long your 'tough bottoms' are).

2. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the asparagus spears. Sautée for about 5 minutes, turning them every now and then so they don't burn.

3. In the meantime, mash the avocado into the cream cheese and add a few drops of lemon juice.
Toast the bread.

4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bread. Layer the serrano ham onto it, and cover with alfalfa. On top, place the asparagus spears. Serve immediately.
