Combine burger ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Divide and shape into twelve 1-inch thick patties, about 8 oz each.
Cover and refrigerate.
Sautéed Mushrooms:
Sauté mushrooms in oil in large sauté pan over high heat until golden brown. Add shallot and garlic; sauté 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Stir in parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
Per order:
Place burger on grill. Cook to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Just before burger is done, top with 1 slice Sartori Fontina Cheese and place 1 roll, cut sides down, on grill. Cook until cheese is melted and roll is toasted. Serve burger in bun topped with 1 oz sautéed mushrooms.
