The first step is to roast the mushrooms
Preheat the oven to 185°C
Chop the thyme and garlic with salt and olive oil, add the chili pepper and lemon juice, and mix it with the mushrooms
Place them in a hot oven for 10 minutes, arranged on an oiled baking sheet with butter
If desired, reduce the cream by cooking it slightly and then combine it with the roasted mushrooms
While the mushrooms roast, start assembling the sandwich
Cut the baguette in half lengthwise
Season the ricotta cheese from Bologna with salt, olive oil, black pepper, parsley, and scallions
Spread it (not too thick to avoid crushing the bread's interior) on both halves of the baguette
Next, add the beef slices and, on top of them, place the whole asparagus spears cooked al dente
The next layer is the roasted shimeji mushrooms (whether mixed with reduced cream or not), which should still be warm when assembled
Finish with thin slices of Grana Padano cheese and serve immediately.
