Recipes Featuring Fontina Cheese
View all 7Onion and Potato Gratin
This is a great dish to make when I am cooking for the whole family or a large group, since it goes in the oven and doesn’t require a lot of prep time or attention while it’s cooking. Onions, potatoes, cream, and cheese come together here, in the ultimate side dish. This gratin is easy to put together; then just slip it into the oven, next to whatever you are roasting, and toss a salad, and your balanced meal is done. Think about this dish when you are having people over for brunch or breakfast. Make it in a large baking pan, cut it into squares, and serve each portion on a dish with a fried or poached egg or two on top.

Italian Mac and Cheese
The cheeses that make this mac and cheese distinctly Italian are gooey Fontina and provola and, of course, grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano to tie it all together. There is a great selection of Italian tubular pastas to choose from, but I like either pipette (little pipes) or gomiti (Italian-style elbows) for this recipe.
