Preparation
- In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently warm the milk and cream over medium-low heat. Be careful not to bring to a boil.
- Add the shredded fontina a handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Continue stirring for about 6 to 8 minutes, until all the cheese has melted and the fonduta is smooth, glossy, and velvety. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Transfer the fonduta to a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and serve immediately with the vegetables, cured meats, and bread for dipping. Buon appetito!
