Gouda is great, and Parmesan is peerless, but when we wanted cheese for these mini-quiches, we called on our old friend fontina. Fontina melts wonderfully, and has a nutty, subtle flavor that mingles perfectly with mushrooms and egg. Add a nice bowl of carrots tossed in pesto on the side, and we're sure you'll be calling fontina a friend before this meal is up.
