    1

    Begin by grating the Fontina and Parmesan cheeses. This will help them melt smoothly.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the grated Fontina cheese with the milk, stirring over low heat. Allow it to melt gradually for about 10 minutes.

    3

    Once the cheese is melted, add the grated Parmesan, egg yolk, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined and creamy.

    4

    Prepare your bread by cutting it into cubes or slices. You can toast it lightly if desired.

    5

    Transfer the cheese mixture into a fondue pot or a serving bowl. Keep it warm over a gentle heat source.

    Serve with the bread cubes for dipping and enjoy!
