Baked Fontina With Garlic, Olive Oil, and Thyme image

a lovely appetizer from the Red Cat Cookbook, rather like a fondue without all the paraphenalia needed..just a skillet and good crusty bread! Use italian fontina, not dutch because the dutch won't melt properly for this

Categories     Cheese

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs italian fontina, soft brown rind trimmed and discarded, cut into 1-inch dice
1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon thyme
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
salt
fresh ground black pepper
sliced country bread or roll

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • For individual servings, divide the fontina among four 6-inch cast-iron pans.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and scatter the garlic, thyme, and rosemary over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. For one large pan, use a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and follow the same directions.
  • Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve each person an individual pan, setting it on a trivet or napkin, or serve from the 12-inch pan set in the center of the table, with the bread alongside for dunking.
