I know I am no cook nor chef, but I always take a close look at what's happening in that atmosphere, you know? Just the common person trying to enjoy the finest food this world offers. Well, since I have been talking about italian food culture lately, I have found an unforgettable yet simple recipe for all of you craving for more.

1 cup Fontina cheese (grated)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (grated)
