Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus a few drops for the pan)
12 sage leaves, fresh, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 ounces Fontina cheese, rind removed and coarsely grated
4 slices country white bread

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the olive oil, sage and pepper until warm to the touch. Turn off the heat and let it infuse while you assemble the sandwiches.
  • Place the cheese, divided evenly, on two slices of bread. Take care to bring the cheese all the way to the edge of the crust. Top each with a second slice of bread and press flat.
  • Lay a heavy or weighted cutting board on top of the sandwiches for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Use a pastry brush to spread the sage oil lightly on both sides of the sandwiches. Make sure you go all the way to the edges and distribute the sage and pepper evenly.
  • Heat a cast-iron pan or griddle over low heat. Sprinkle with a few drops of olive oil, then rub it over the whole cooking surface with a paper towel.
  • Add the sandwiches and cook, weighted with another heavy pan or a steak weight, until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Keep the heat low so you don't burn the sage or pepper.
  • Remove the sandwiches to a cutting board, and cut each in half or in quarters.
  • Serve immediately.

This grilled cheese was a waste of time. The recipe was easy to follow, but the sandwich was bland and boring. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grilled cheese was a disaster. The cheese didn't melt properly and the bread was burnt. I won't be making this again.

This grilled cheese was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time. Otherwise, it was a good sandwich.

I thought this grilled cheese was just average. The cheese was melted and gooey, but it wasn't very flavorful. I wouldn't make this again.

I was disappointed with this grilled cheese. The cheese was bland and the sage was too strong. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This grilled cheese was just okay. The cheese wasn't very flavorful, and the sage was a bit overpowering. I wouldn't make this again.

I'm not a big fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, but this one was surprisingly good! The fontina and sage were a great combination, and the bread was grilled perfectly. I would definitely make this again.
