Grilled Fontina with Artichokes and Mushrooms

This grilled fontina with artichokes and mushrooms is a sophisticated take on the classic toasted sandwich. Using nutty fontina cheese, which melts beautifully, it creates a luxurious texture that pairs perfectly with the earthiness of sautéed mushrooms and the subtle tang of marinated artichokes. By using a heavy frying pan to toast the country-style bread until golden, you achieve a satisfying crunch that encases a rich, savoury filling.

Ideal for a quick midweek lunch or a comforting weekend supper, this vegetarian dish offers a more refined flavour profile than your average toastie. The combination of pantry staples like jarred artichokes with fresh mushrooms makes it an effortless yet impressive meal. Serve it alongside a fresh green salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a truly heart-healthy and satisfying homemade feast.

How to make Grilled Fontina with Artichokes and Mushrooms

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add artichoke hearts and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
