This Mozzarella & Asparagus Baguette recipe is perfect for a quick and easy lunch. It serves one but is really easy to scale up to serve 2 or more, if your household is a little bigger. Recipe taken from Just For One or Two Cookbook.
Ingredients
Ready-to-bake baguette 1 small
Asparagus spears 3, depending on size, woody ends snapped off then halved
Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
Finely shredded basil 1 tbsp
Finely chopped parsley 1 tbsp
Tomato 1, sliced
Mozzarella cheese 50g (2oz), thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
To cook the baguette, preheat the oven according to the packet’s instructions and bake the baguette. Remove it from the oven and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, cook the asparagus spears in gently boiling, lightly salted water for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain. Cut the baguette almost into two lengthways. Mix the mayonnaise with the basil and parsley and spread over the cut sides of the baguette. Lay alternate slices of tomato, Mozzarella and pieces of asparagus on the baguette. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
