Have you tried flavored cheese any time. It surely tastes yum as is or simply toasted or grilled. But this time I coupled it with Broccoli to make it even more tasty and relishing.
Winter's are special for me, especially if you stay in a colder climate like Chicago you tend to know well. It's just an excuse to relish the cheese... eaaseee ... yesss ;) Just a reason and a variety of fresh greens available in ample.
My family loves Sandwiches and once or twice a month we relish them with a combination of different stuffing. Yay! It's a Sandwich day today, treat time and relaxing day for us.
Today we are making Broccoli and garlic flavored cheese with a side of sauted Asparagus.
We visit Christkindl market each year here in Chicago. It is an Annual open-air event during the holiday season, a traditional German-American holiday market. If you are in Chicago during this time you surely must visit.
These cheese are a steal seriously, we opted for vegetarian versions of these, you get a variety to choose from, and believe me these are ones to relish. People buy in bulk and store for the season too.
We bought Garlic, Jalapeno and Cranberry flavors and looking forward to experiment them in my recipes.
For this recipe we are using Garlic flavored cheese as it would complement great with the side of garlic sauted Asparagus.

Let's get making this quickly.
Process For Sandwich
1) Chop green onions.
2) Blanch the broccoli head for 2-3 mins in boiling water, drain and let cool.
3) Grate the broccoli or crush it coarsely. Assemble all the ingredients together and mix well.
4) Shred cheese. * Here I am using the flavored cheese we bought recently. You can used any type or flavor of cheese or just plain shredded cheese too.
Sandwich stuffing is ready.
5) Apply butter on both sides of the Sandwich slices fill with stuffing and grill it in a Sandwich grill OR you can toast it over the pan too.
6) Grilled Broccoli sandwich is ready.
Process For Garlic flavored Sauted Asparagus
1) Chop and keep tender stalks to use, discard the bottom hard stalks.
2) Chop garlic and keep ready. Assemble all the ingredients and keep ready as Asparagus needs cooking on high flame.
3) Heat olive oil in a pan and saute garlic well.
4) Add Asparagus stalks and saute well. Keep heat on high flame all along. High heat helps in sauteing tender asparagus and maintain its crunch.
5) Saute for few minutes until the rawness of asparagus is gone and it gets a bright sheen. Switch off the flame and its ready.
Enjoy your flavored Sandwich with this side of garlic sauted Asparagus and cherish it with dipping sauce or chutney of your choice.
We relished this with green cilantro chuntey and hot and sweet ketchup.
