I also substituted mozzarella for the fontina. Otherwise made as directed except adding 1/2 tsp. of parsley flakes. These were good. If I make them again I'll play with the fillings a bit as we weren't terribly fond of this combination, but the idea is great and there is definitely a lot of potential here.

Soooo good! I substituted mozzarella for the Fontina, and used part-skim ricotta. The combination of the three cheeses gives authentic Italian flavor. I also omitted the procciutto, stirring in 1 1/2 c. fresh, finely chopped spinach to the cheeses, for a vegetarian version. One important thing, though - before baking, pierce the tops of these 2-3 times with a sharp knife, making 1/2" slits, to allow air to escape, or they may burst at the sides at thinner spots.
