I bought domestic fontina from Trader Joe's and spent about $8 for the pound and a half (thank heavens for TJ's. I used about 2 Tbs. olive oil (I won't use ANY next time; it's plenty oily already, 1/4 tsp. salt (I wouldn't add ANY more; Ina always adds superfluous tablespoons of salt, I think, a heaping teaspoon of fresh rosemary, a heaping tablespoon of thyme and baked mine for about 9 minutes in a cast iron skillet. The cast iron is great because it keeps it retains heat for so long. It was absolutely terrific. Cheesy, gooey, greasy, fattening and delicious. Our friends loved it and I'll definitely make it again.

Amazing! Will make over and over again. I added dry herbs not fresh it's all I had. I made a small batch and I wished I would have made it bigger!

Great!!! Everyone I make this for loves it. I do use less oil as there is so much oil in the cheese. Enjoy :

To the person who complained about the cost of the cheese. I find that good food sometimes costs a little bit more than bad food. Maybe you should try american slices if that's the quality of food that you want, for me no, I will try something from someone who has a very good track record and that would be Ina.

I used Penzey's dried herbs rather than fresh and cut back on salt and pepper. Instead of bread, serve with apple slices; I used Granny Smiths.

Very tasty. I think it could be just as good with gruyere, emmental / emmentaler, or another great melting cheese. The Fontina Val d'Aosta is a great cheese. It's also unpasteurized, so if that's important to you, you might try a different cheese. I made the recipe as written, and it was good.
