This has become one of my favorite all time appetizers. You know I love cheese! It is very easy to make and it takes only minutes to put together and about 10 minutes under the broiler. This recipe calls for Fontina and they were out so I used Havarti. It was wonderful too.
11/2 pounds Italian Fontina remove rind and cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup good olive oil
6 garlic cloves sliced thinly
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 loaf of crusty French baguette
(I also added one tablespoon of minced fresh dill, because I had it on hand)
Preheat broiler and position rack 5 inches from heat.
Distribute cheese cube evenly in a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and combine garlic, thyme and rosemary and sprinkle over cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place pan under the broiler for 6-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling and starts to brown a little.
Serve family style right of out oven in cast iron pan with crusty chunks of bread.
These two appetizers are so filling you don't need much else. We had dinner several hours after appetizers and I was still full.
