Baked Fontina With Garlic, Olive Oil, and Thyme
a lovely appetizer from the Red Cat Cookbook, rather like a fondue without all the paraphenalia needed..just a skillet and good crusty bread! Use italian fontina, not dutch because the dutch won't melt properly for this

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the broiler.
- For individual servings, divide the fontina among four 6-inch cast-iron pans.
- 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.
- Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Serve each person an individual pan, setting it on a trivet or napkin, or serve from the 12-inch pan set in the center of the table, with the bread alongside for dunking.
