1. Combine butter, pumpkin pie spice, coriander, ginger, and salt in medium bowl and whisk until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
2. Arrange half of bread slices on cutting board and place one slice Swiss cheese on each. Top with ham, followed by pear slices and fontina cheese. Complete the sandwiches with second four slices of bread and press down gently to compress. Spread spiced butter on the outside of each sandwich.

Flip sandwiches using spatula and cook on second side until golden brown, about 6 minutes longer. Keep sandwiches warm while cooking remaining two sandwiches. Cut in half and serve.
