Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Asiago, Fontina or Parmesan can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Beat butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the asiago, fontina, parmesan, parsley and garlic; beat until mixture is combined.
Place bread cut side up on prepared pan. Spread butter mixture on bread.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cheeses are bubbly and edges begin to brown.

Recipe Tip

Prepare butter mixture up to 3 days in advance. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Cut butter mixture into small pieces; let stand until softened. Spread on bread, and bake as directed.

Cheesemonger Tip

Saxon Asiago Fresca cheese has a fresh, creamy milk flavor with a slight citrusy tang and smooth texture. When warmed, it melts to dreamy perfection.
