Asparagus Grilled Cheese with Poached Egg and Greens

In this recipe from Chef Tyler Florence, fresh asparagus and triple-cream cheese make a delicious filling for grilled sandwiches, which get a flavor boost from truffle mayonnaise. To preserve the aroma, don’t prepare the mayo more than an hour in advance.
