Roasted Garlic and Fontina Pizza
Roasted Garlic is sweet where fontina is earthy, and a shared savory and rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Slow-roasted garlic cloves become impossibly sweet, mellow, and spreadably soft. A buttery, semi-soft Alpine cheese that melts into a silky, nutty layer of golden richness. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
