Baked Fontina is a one-dish wonder where cubes of creamy fontina cheese are baked with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs until melted and bubbling. It’s served immediately for dipping with bread, offering an irresistible combination of creamy, savory, and herbaceous flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ pounds Italian fontina cheese, rind removed, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • ¼ cup good olive oil

  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the broiler

Preheat your oven broiler and place the oven rack 5 inches below the heat source.

Step 2: Arrange the cheese

Place the cubed fontina cheese in a small, ovenproof cast-iron pan or a heavy skillet. Spread the cheese out evenly to cover the bottom.

Step 3: Add olive oil and seasonings

Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese cubes. Scatter the garlic slices, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly on top.

Step 4: Broil until bubbly

Place the pan under the broiler for 5–6 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and slightly browned on top.

Step 5: Serve immediately

Remove from the oven and serve hot, straight from the skillet, with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.
