This was really a great sandwich. Silly me ate the sandwich and then remembered I didn't take a picture. I know I will make it again and I will submit a pic then. The only thing I changed was I left out the tomatoes and put on one side of the sandwich a bit of Grey Poupon course grain mustard. The bread I used was white mountain bread because I used my Panini press and that bread works better than regular sandwich bread. Delicious.....Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was so yummy and delicious. Perfect on a cold, rainy night. Very easy to assemble. Asparagus, ham, and cheese--Great combination. The cheese sauce just puts it over the top. Thanks Nurse Di for a new family favorite.
