Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds Italian Fontina Cheese cubed
  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 tablespoon Fresh Herbs finely chopped (basil, thyme, rosemary – the fresher, the better)
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • pepper to taste
  • Crusty Baguette or Fresh Veggies (for dipping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your broiler to high. Take a cast iron skillet or an oven-safe dish and lovingly scatter the cubed fontina cheese in an even layer at the bottom.
  • Generously drizzle olive oil over the cheese cubes, ensuring a glossy coat for that exquisite melt.
  • Sprinkle your mixed herbs over the oiled cheese, painting a picture of green on gold. Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper to elevate the flavors.
  • Slide your skillet under the broiler and patiently wait for about 5 minutes. What you're looking for is a golden, bubbly top.
  • This dish waits for no one! Serve hot and bubbly, accompanied by slices of crusty baguette or fresh vegetables for dipping!
