Instruktioner

Arrange the fontina on 2 slices of bread. Arrange peppers and mushrooms over the cheese. Cover with the remaining 2 slices of bread. Place the "toasts" on a hot, lightly oiled stovetop grill and weigh down with a heavy pan. Cook, turning once, until the cheese melts and both sides of the bread are golden brown and marked by the grill. Alternately, use a sandwich grill and cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden. Serve hot.
