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.
