I asked my husband to bring home a loaf of Italian or French bread so I could make these yummy sandwiches. He showed up with a baguette, so these turned out more like sliders. Cute idea for party food!

This little sandwich might sound fancy, but it's super easy to prepare. Warm, creamy, and tangy, it's bursting with flavor. You can really taste every element of the sandwich. We loved the crunch asparagus gives. Grilling the bread adds a great crisp texture. We can't wait to make these again.
