12-16asparagus spears

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 to toast the rolls. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice into a medium bowl. Slice asparagus into rounds and toss into lemon juice, add salt and pepper to taste. Chop the olives.
Cut the rolls in half*** and drizzle with olive oil (garlic flavored if you have it!). Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until golden.
Spread 2 ounces of goat cheese on one side of each roll.
Put the asparagus on top of the cheese lay (to hold it in place). Top with olives, zest and greens.
If wrapping for a picnic, wrap each sandwich tightly so the filling doesn't fall out.
Notes
Olive oil: this is delicious with garlic flavored olive oil, since it's nice and delicate without having an overpowering garlic flavor.
