GRILLED FONTINA CHEESE SANDWICH WITH MUSHROOMS AND DIJON



Grilled Fontina Cheese Sandwich With Mushrooms and Dijon image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 2 sandwiches, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan; add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Sear the mushrooms over high heat until golden and a little crisp around the edges, adding a little more water to the pan as they finish cooking, to loosen the yummy pan juices( adding a little sherry or wine instead would add to the flavor).

WILLIAM-SONOMA'S GRILLED FONTINA SANDWICHES WITH PROSCIUTTO AND



William-Sonoma's Grilled Fontina Sandwiches With Prosciutto and image

This is a sophisticated version of the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Italian fontina is a creamy, mild cheese with fine melting qualities. A Swiss-type cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmentaler, would also be good.

Provided by KellyMac6

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 slices firm white bread (french, sourdough, brioche, or challah)
3/4-1 lb Fontina cheese, sliced
6 slices prosciutto
1 ripe pear, such as Bartlett

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.

Conclusion:

This grilled Fontina cheese sandwich with mushrooms and Dijon is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of rich, melted cheese, earthy mushrooms, and tangy Dijon mustard is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this sandwich a try!
