Fall Entertaining With Cheese Fall brings a return to comfort food, seasonal ingredients, and gatherings around the table. From warm appetizers to cheese boards, a few carefully selected cheeses can make entertaining easier while adding flavor to familiar recipes. For hosts planning a seasonal menu, BelGioioso offers several options. Its Fontina melts smoothly into baked pasta, sandwiches, and creamy sauces, while Smoked Mozzarella adds a subtle smoky flavor to roasted vegetables, flatbreads, and appetizers. The brand’s Parmesan, aged for more than 10 months, works well with risotto, soups, and pasta dishes. Other options include Sartori, known for its BellaVitano collection and aged cheeses, and Galbani, whose fresh mozzarella and ricotta can be incorporated into everything from appetizers to baked dishes. A Simple Fall Recipe For an easy appetizer, try baked Fontina with roasted mushrooms and herbs. Combine 8 ounces of cubed Fontina with 1 cup of sautéed mushrooms, a tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme in a small oven-safe dish. Bake at 375°F for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and begins to bubble. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately with toasted baguette slices.
