Cheesy Italian Dipper Recipe made with Fontina cheese and crescent rolls.

This cheesy Italian dipper recipe is so much fun…recipes can be fun, didn’t you know that?   It’s even fun to say!  You’re going to love this appetizer.  Have you ever heard of an Italian dipper before?  Well, neither had I until I came across this little gem on Live Love Pasta and knew right away that I had to make it.  Now, I am SO glad that I have finally heard of it. That ooey, gooey cheese was calling out my name.  Cheese tends to do that to me on occasion.

After a little bit of research on Google, I learned that an Italian dipper is basically a ring of pizza crust that is stuffed with cheese, pizza toppings, and Italian seasonings.  So a few weeks ago we had a dreary, cold fall Sunday and I decided to make my usual Sunday sauce and swap the normal loaf of Italian bread with this cheesy Italian dipper.  Good choice made by me!  I’m not one that likes change, but sometimes I feel a little adventurous.

Now you do not have to be like me and wait to make this for your next pasta night – this would be so perfect for a snack in the middle of the day, an appetizer for a party, or just anytime of the day!  Whenever you decide to make it, just make it, and don’t wait.  The whole family will be sure to love it.  And now I’m officially addicted to Fontina cheese.  Have a great day, everyone!
