I've made this a new times now - it's absolutely delicious! Since good Fontina cheese is somewhat pricey, the second time I made this, I used one-half Fontina cheese and one-half Havarti cheese (which I also love and it's a very creamy, rich cheese as well). My kids love this too!

make sure you roll out the pastry... it shrinks when you put it in the oven to brown. Very tasty... will make again.
