Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Italian Fontina Val d'Aosta cheese rind removed and 1-inch-diced
  • 1/4 cup good olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 crusty French baguette

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 5 inches from the heat.
  • Distribute the cubes of Fontina evenly in a 12-inch cast-iron pan. Drizzle on the olive oil. Combine the garlic, thyme, and rosemary and sprinkle it over the cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the pan under the broiler for 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and starts to brown.
  • Serve the baked Fontina family-style-right out of the oven in the cast-iron pan
