3/4# 11/21bs Italian Fontina, cut into 1-inch dice
2 Tbl. 1/4 cup Olive oil
3 6 (depends on size) Garlic cloves, thinly sliced (if using pre- chopped from a jar, it is easier to measure)

1. Preheat the broiler or use a slow cooker pot.

2. For individual servings, divide the fontina among four 6-inch
cast-iron pans.

3. 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.

4. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 6 to 7 minutes or use a slow cooker pot.
DO NOT BOIL, because the cheese will break down (come apart) – broiling is fine

napkin, or serve from the 12-inch pan set in the center of the
table, with the bread alongside for dunking.
