Tina’s Baked Fonina
(Barefoot Contessa)
1½ pounds Italian Fontina Val d’Aosta cheese, rind removed and 1-inch-diced 
¼ cup good olive oil 
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves 
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves 
1 teaspoon kosher salt 
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 crusty French baguette 
Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 5 inches from the heat.

Distribute the cubes of Fontina evenly in a 12-inch cast-iron pan. Drizzle on the olive oil. Combine the garlic, thyme, and rosemary and sprinkle it over the cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the pan under the broiler for 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and starts to brown.


Gilt

I met with a manger at a local Saks location and she explained to me that Saks recently acquired GILT.COM. I only knew Gilt through my friend Kris, who is so busy with her apprearances on CNBC that she only shops online!!!!! Gilt is an “online distination for A-list brands at 70% off!”  They are known to feature designer finds “so good that they’re gone in 36 hours or sooner”! The Saks peeps promise even bigger things to come with Gilt in the near future!  I cannot wait to see where their relationship goes.  In the meantime, they were so kind to offer us a 10% discount on our first order!  Use FIRST10 at checkout.
