You can make this easy cheese dip recipe in just minutes and impress all of your guests because it looks and tastes so special and delicious.
When it comes to fondue or baked cheese dips, the better the cheese the better the dip. That usually means paying a higher price for more expensive cheese. Soft and mild cheeses like fontina, gruyere, and or gouda cheese work great! Fontina is an Italian cheese made from cows milk that has a soft, mild flavor. Fontina is a great melting cheese that is often used to make cheese fondue or baked cheese dips. Cut the fontina cheese into cubes and place them in a cast iron skillet. Drizzle olive oil over the cheese.
Mix the fresh herbs together and sprinkle them on top of the olive oil and cheese. Add a little salt and pepper and place the skillet under the broiler for 6 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Serve the baked fontina immediately with slices of a crusty baguette or even with veggies. Baked fontina is very similar to most fondue recipes. However, many fondue recipes ask you to grate the cheese and they often call for cornstarch, which this recipe does not. This recipe uses a few simple ingredients including fresh herbs, cheese, and olive oil and is extremely fast and easy to prepare.
