Author Notes
It's not quite fondue and not quite queso fundido, but this baked Gruyère will warm you up this winter. Inspired by Ina Garten's Baked Fontina, this blend of rosemary, thyme, and fresh chopped garlic is an easy and delicious appetizer to make for a holiday gathering. Serve right out of the cast-iron pan with crackers or crusty bread to mop up the olive oil and cheesy goodness! —Marissa Mullen
