Brown Butter Mushroom Fontina
“Mushrooms and Fontina bathed in brown butter sage — the ultimate umami blanket.”
Brown Butter Mushroom Fontina wraps you in a warm umami blanket on a cold evening. Roasted mixed mushrooms melt into a brown butter sage base alongside two generous layers of nutty Fontina cheese. Roasted garlic cloves add mellow sweetness, fresh thyme contributes herbal depth, and a Parmesan finish provides a salty punctuation mark. This is comfort food at its most refined.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fontina cheese?
Fontina Val d'Aosta is an Italian semi-soft cheese with a nutty, slightly earthy flavor that melts beautifully. It has a buttery richness that pairs exceptionally well with brown butter and mushrooms. Danish Fontina is milder and more affordable if the Italian version is hard to find.
