Trim asparagus and peel. Toss asparagus with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Lay the oiled
asparagus on the bottom plate of the preheated grill. Cover and cook until crisp and
bright, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reserve. Put shredded cheese and herbes de Provence
into a small bowl and toss to combine; reserve. Drain roasted peppers well and pat dry.
Preheat conventional oven to 175ºF. Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with
the remaining olive oil. Place 4 slices of bread on the work surface, oiled side down.
Build the sandwiches in this order – shredded cheese, asparagus, roasted peppers, and
prosciutto – using equal amounts of each item on each sandwich. Top with the
remaining sliced bread, oiled side up.
Place two sandwiches on the bottom grill plate, evenly spaced. Lower cover and apply
light pressure to handle for about 30 seconds. Grill panini for 3½ to 4 minutes. Remove
to a rack and keep warm in preheated oven. Grill remaining 2 sandwiches in the same
way. Cut in half on the diagonal to serve.
