Spread asparagus cream on bread slices and top with lettuce leaves. Drizzle with sea salt, pepper, a little lemon juice and olive oil and serve immediately. - DELICIOUS!
DRINK FOR ALL
This sandwich is the Mercedes of buttered sandwiches, so the wine should also come from the class of bread and butter wines, but a little consideration in the selection is necessary. A lot of starch (bread) and milk (cream cheese) meet roasted aromas and asparagus. The wine may therefore be somewhat stronger, as it has strong partners.
It should be yellow-fruity and juicy, the acidity may be well integrated or generally mild, since the goat cheese already brings acid into play. A strong Riesling offers itself, also a Sauvignon Blanc of the Loire is here nachschenkbar, e.g. a Pouilly Fumé with its smoky flavour. If you like it full-bodied, drink Anjou (Chenin Blanc) or a hearty Franconian Silvaner.
