Grilled Sage, Mushroom and Fontina Sandwiches

3 tablespoons melted butter, divided
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1 1/4 teaspoons dried
8 slices from a large round loaf of country-style bread or other bread
2 cups fontina cheese, grated

In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper and dried sage, if using. Cook,
stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in fresh sage, if using. Put mushrooms in a bowl, wipe out pan.

Using a pastry brush, coat 1 side of 4 bread slices with half the remaining butter. Place slices, buttered side down, on a work
surface. Top bread with cheese, then mushrooms. Cover with remaining bread slices and brush tops with remaining butter.

Heat skillet over moderately low heat. Add sandwiches and cook, turning once, until golden, 5 to 10 minutes per side.
Serves 4.
