Ingredients

6 ounces fontina cheese, cut into small cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

2 teaspoons fresh thyme

1 clove garlic, minced

1 orange, zested

4 ounces goat cheese

2 tablespoons fig jam

1/2 cup candied pecans

1 pear, thinly sliced

Nut and seed crackers, for serving

Assorted cheeses of your choice, for serving

2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Add the fontina to a small baking dish. Drizzle with the oil, top with the rosemary, thyme, garlic and orange zest and toss to combine. Bake until melted and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the goat cheese on a cheese board or platter. Spoon the fig jam over the goat cheese. Add a pile of pecans, fan the pear and place the crackers on the board along with any other cheeses you are serving, leaving a space for the baking dish.
  4. Add the fontina in the baking dish to the board. Drizzle the honey over the top. Serve while the fontina is hot.
