Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place tomatoes in a large baking dish and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the garlic, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 min, or possibly till the tomatoes are soft.
- Heat the remaining extra virgin olive oil in a medium stock pot over medium heat. Add in the onions and carrots and cook till the onions are soft, about 5 min. Add in the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and the juices which have accumulated. Add in the stock and fresh thyme and cook for 20 min.
- Place the cream in a small saucepan over medium high heat and cook till reduced by half.
- Transfer the mix to a blender and blend till smooth, strain into a clean saucepan over low heat, add in the reduced cream, and cook for 5 min.
- For the Grilled Fontina-Mushroom Sandwich: Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large saute/fry pan, add in the mushrooms, and cook till golden. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the sage.
- Brush the bread on 1 side with the butter. Turn 4 of the slices over on a work surface. Divide the cheese among the slices then divide the mushrooms on top of the cheese. Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread, butter-side up.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add in the sandwiches and cook, turning once, till golden brown, about 2 min per side.
