How To Make smoked mozzarella fonduta

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 F. Arrange sliced Italian bread flat on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Cover with foil. Set aside until ready to use.
Step 3

Combine sour cream, thyme, red pepper, cayenne pepper, and four kinds of cheese in a large bowl. Blend thoroughly.
Step 4

If serving family style, spray an 8" x 10" casserole dish with pan spray.
Step 5

Then use a spatula to transfer the mixture. For individual servings, spray eight individual heat-resistant serving bowls, such as souffle cups, with pan spray and fill each with 1/2 cup of mixture. Place individual bowls on a baking sheet. Using a large spoon, spread cheese mixture to create an even surface.
Step 6

Bake on center rack in oven.
Step 7

After five minutes, place the baking sheet with bread, still covered, in the oven. Bake for an additional five minutes.
Step 8

Remove bread and fonduta from the oven. Garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley. Arrange bread slices around the bowl(s) and serve immediately.
