Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 pounds Italian Fontina cheese, rind removed, cubed (1-2-inch cubes)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons thyme leaves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary leaves, minced
  • 1-2 French baguettes, sliced
  • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • Place oven rack in upper portion of oven, 5 inches from the heat. Preheat broiler.
  • Take a large, cast-iron skillet and spread an even layer of Fontina cubes along the pan. Drizzle olive oil on top.
  • Sprinkle garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper over the top.
  • Place in oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Pay close attention because it's easy for cheese to burn.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately, from skillet, dipping slices directly into the cheese. Be careful though, the skillet is really hot.
