  • 20g parmesan, grated
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh thyme or honey for finishing

Method

1

3

Distribute mozzarella first as the base layer.

4

Add gorgonzola, fontina, and parmesan in sections or scattered.

5

Drizzle with olive oil.

Launch and cook until cheeses are melted and bubbling, crust is charred.

Finish with fresh thyme or a drizzle of honey (trust me on the honey).

Pro Tips

  • 💡Gorgonzola dolce (sweet) is milder than piccante - adjust to taste
  • 💡If you can't find fontina, taleggio or gruyère work well
  • 💡A drizzle of truffle oil elevates this to restaurant quality
  • 💡Honey + gorgonzola is a classic Italian combination
