1. Cut fontina into 1/2 inch slices, each about 2-inches wide. Cut slices with a 1 1/2 inch star cookie cutter, using the handle of a small spoon to press and release cheese from cutter at star points.

Notes

* This lovely fontina is sweet and smooth with a creamy, peppery finish. For a delicious treat, try this cheese paired with sauvignon blanc, favorite merlot or an American pale ale.
