Turkey, Asparagus and Gruyere Bruschette
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
8 slices sourdough bread, toasted
2 tbsp dijon mustard
250g turkey meat, sliced
150g gruyère cheese, thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to season
Method
- Bring a deep frying pan of water to the boil. Add asparagus and cook for 1–2 minutes or until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Preheat grill on medium-high heat. Put toasted sourdough bread on a large chopping board. Spread with mustard and top with turkey, asparagus and gruyère.
- Put bruschette on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Put tray under hot grill and cook for 2–3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve bruschette immediately.
Note: bruschette can also be cooked in a café-style press-grill. Line the grill with baking paper to prevent the cheese from sticking to it.
