Clock

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ cup cornstarch
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 20 asparagus spears (about 12 oz), washed and trimmed
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 slices prosciutto or serrano ham
  • 12 to 16 fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp coarsely chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a shallow dish combine panko, lemon-pepper, and garlic powder. Place cornstarch in a second shallow dish. Place eggs in a third shallow dish.
  2. Place 2 Tbsp oil in a 15x10-inch baking pan. Place pan in oven. Dip asparagus, one at a time, in eggs. Dip in cornstarch to coat. Dip in eggs again; dip in panko mixture to coat. Place on a tray while coating remaining spears. Transfer all spears to hot pan; drizzle with remaining oil. Bake 10 minutes or until golden, turning once.
  3. Meanwhile, spread cut sides of rolls with some of the mayonnaise. Place on a baking sheet. Broil, spread sides up, 5 minutes or until toasted; cool slightly. To assemble, spread buns with half the mayonnaise. Arrange prosciutto and asparagus on buns. Top with mint (if desired) and chives. Serve with remaining mayonnaise.
