Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute Gruyère cheese for Fontina cheese.

    I used Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar and really enjoyed the sage on these little sandwiches.

    Yesterday I was thumbing through this cookbook and was excited when I realized I had the ingredients for this recipe. Yay-- lunch was set! Unfortunately, I wasn't crazy about it. In total agreement with clcorbi, and wondered if I needed a stronger cheese than the Bel Gioso fontina, which I admit is rather insipid. The sage didn't contribute much flavor, either. Not a repeat.

    I thought this was pretty good, but not great or repeat-worthy. It wasn't enough of an improvement on a regular grilled cheese to make the oil-infusion step worth the effort. I do wonder if I should have let the oil infuse for even longer and if that might have helped, but then again, when I want a grilled cheese I want it to be quick to throw together. I also think a funkier cheese than gruyere could have helped this sandwich shine.
