Preparation 10 minutes preparation + 30 minutes cooking

Slice Fontina and bread. Melt 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat and sauté bread slices on both sides until golden.

In a pot over medium heat, melt another 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter and sauté rice for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add 1 or 2 ladlefuls of hot broth at a time, stirring and letting it be absorbed before adding more.

Cook until rice is still quite "al dente."

In a large baking dish, arrange a layer of bread slices, a layer of rice and a layer of Fontina slices.

Continue this process and finish with a layer of fontina.

Add a bit of broth to soften everything.

Melt remaining butter and pour over the cheese.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
