One of the best and most irresistible dips you can make for any occasion is this delicious baked fontina dip. When you set this on the table it will almost immediately be gone. At least that’s always been my experience.
Fontina is a great cheese to use for dip because it’s a semi-soft cow’s milk that melts really well. It has a buttery, nutty flavor that you can’t get enough of and it’s not too rich to be enjoyed as a dip.
Fontina is produced in the Valle d’Aosta in Italy, just at the foot of the Alps. It’s a uniquely aromatic, but still mild cheese, and it’s a stunner in this dip.
Ingredients You’ll Need
The higher quality ingredients you use the better the dip will turn out, so be sure to use the freshest cheese and high quality olive oil, along with super fresh herbs.
- Fontina cheese, rind removed and cubed
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Fresh thyme
- Fresh rosemary
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
If you can’t find fontina cheese, you can substitute it with Gruyère or Emmentaler, which have a rich and creamy nuttiness, similar to Fontina.
