Recipe summary

This is, by far, the best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever had. I hope you’ll agree. Pancetta is Italian bacon and you can get it at Italian food stores and upscale meat markets. Yield is 4 servings.

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 pound mushrooms, your favorite kind, sliced thinly
Coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper

8 slices country bread
1/3 pound fontina cheese, grated
4 thin slices grilled pancetta

Directions

In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp. of the butter on medium heat.
Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper.

Stir in the fresh sage.
Put the mushrooms in a bowl and wipe out the pan.
Butter one side of four slices of bread with the softened butter.
Put them buttered side down on a cutting board.
