A hearty sandwich that combines tender roast beef, crisp grilled asparagus and bold Dijon mustard. Simple yet refined, this flavourful lunch puts Mie et Cie bread front and centre.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

• 4 slices of Mie et Cie Le Levain bread
• 150 g thinly sliced roast beef
• 8 asparagus spears, trimmed

6. Close the sandwiches, cut in half and serve.

Chef's Tip

For a bistro-style presentation, cut the sandwiches into triangles and secure them with small picks. Serve with a few extra grilled asparagus spears.
