How to Make Asparagus Grill Sandwiches

1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
2. Spread one side of each bread slice with 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter.
3. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the hot griddle.
4. Layer each slice of bread with 2 slices of ham, 1/8 of the sliced onion, 1/8 of the sliced tomato, 4 asparagus spears, and 1 slice of cheese.
5. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side up.
6. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Use a spatula to carefully press down on the sandwiches to ensure even cooking.
7. While the sandwiches are grilling, prepare the cheese sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
8. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
9. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.
10. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
11. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the shredded cheese until completely melted and smooth.
12. Once the sandwiches are cooked, carefully slice them diagonally.
13. Drizzle generously with the warm cheese sauce and serve immediately.
