Ingredients

1/2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic (or More If You Love It), Sliced Thin
3/4 cups Diced Provolone Cheese
1/2 cups Diced Fontina Cheese
1 pinch Each Of Kosher Salt And Pepper
Slices Of French Bread, For Serving

Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 450 F.
2

Prepare your 6-inch cast iron pan (or oven safe pan) by spreading a tiny bit of olive oil over the bottom of it with your fingertips.
3

Use just enough to make it shine, about 1/2 teaspoon.
4

Scatter your garlic and cheeses into your pan.
5

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15 minutes or until melted.
6

You can also broil it for a bit if your want to speed things up or if you would like some lovely browned cheese in spots.
7

Once cheese is completely melted, remove pan from the oven and serve right away.
8

If your cheese hardens before you finish wolfing it down, err I mean enjoying it, just pop it back in the oven for a few minutes and it will melt right up!

*Note: Sometimes I sprinkle truffle salt over the top when I season the cheese.
10

A sometimes I add a tablespoon of white wine to the pan prior to adding the cheese to change it up a bit.
