This is nice; it bakes alongside your meatloaf. Makes a nice appy. Ina Garten's recipe......and very delicious. Ina used pricey $32 Val d'Osta Italian fontina but a good fontina from your local cheese shop will suffice.

BAKED FONTINA

METHOD Drizzle inch cubes of Fontina w/ ol/oil. Sprinkle w/ sliced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. S/p; then bake or broiler 6 min (bubbly/brown).

SERVE family-style in cast-iron pan with crusty chunks of bread for dipping.

MY SIMPLIFIED VERSION---added a packet of Newman's
Own Italian dressing. Served w/ zucchini spears as dippers.

Easy, inexpensive, patriotic décor---fill a mason jar w/ sand.

Add flags, foil stars, maybe some berry branches,
butterflies on picks. Tie on a raffia or twine bow.

Would also be nice made w/ the smaller mason jars....scale down all the add-ins.

Set one at each place setting on your all American dinner table......w/ platters of meat loaf, buttered mashed potatoes and green beans.
