GRILLED FONTINA CHEESE SANDWICH WITH MUSHROOMS AND DIJON
The mushrooms and tangy Dijon mustard make this a top notch sandwich! Creamy Fontina cheese is just right, but you can use Gruyere or omit the cheese altogether! Sourdough or a nutty cracked wheat bread is a good choice for the bread. For a light supper, serve with a green salad, and add a cup of soup if you like. Adapted from Fields of Greens cookbook.

Steps:
- First, clarify the butter: Melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan over very low heat, watching carefully so it does not burn. Remove from the heat and let stand briefly.
- Using a spoon, skim off and discard the foam from the surface.
- Carefully pour off the clear yellow liquid into a bowl.
- Discard the milky solids left behind in the pan.
- Lay 6 slices of the bread on a work surface and top evenly with the cheese, 1 slice of prosciutto and the pear slices. Top with the remaining bread.
- Brush a wide sauté pan or stovetop grill pan generously with the clarified butter and warm over medium heat.
- When it is hot, place as many sandwiches as will fit in the pan without crowding and weight them down with a pan lid.
- Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Adding more butter as needed, carefully flip the sandwiches, replace the lid, and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes more. The cheese will have melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the pan and keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
- Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as a sourdough or a hearty multigrain.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of mushrooms. From earthy portobellos to delicate shiitakes, each variety offers a unique flavor profile.
- For a vegetarian version of the sandwich, omit the prosciutto and add extra mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute another type of mustard, such as yellow or brown mustard.
- Serve the sandwich immediately, while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
