    1. Heat a skillet on medium heat. Spread one slice of bread with butter on one side. Press 2 sage leaves on top, & swipe with more butter so they adhere. Repeat with second slice.
    2. Lay one slice of bread in hot pan, butter-side down. Place cheese on top. Top with second slice of bread, butter-side up. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden & cheese melts.
    3. Sprinkle 1/2 the Parmigiano atop the sandwich. Flip the sandwich, cook for just a few seconds to crisp the cheese, & repeat with remaining Parm on other side. Serve with pickles & mustard. less
