Ingredients
- 8 ounces fontina cheese cubed
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Position the top oven rack about 5” below the heating element and preheat the broiler. Slice a baguette and set the slices aside. Cut the cheese into about 1-inch cubes.
- Scatter the cubed cheese in a small heavy skillet (about 8 inches) or a small oven-proof baking dish and drizzle it with the olive oil.
- Sprinkle with the chopped herbs.
- Top with black pepper.
- Place the skillet and baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle the baguette slices with a little olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt. Place the baking sheet on the top oven rack and cook until the cheese is melted and begins to brown very slightly.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a low oven until warm. Microwaving can make the cheese too oily, so use caution.
