Tinted green with a zesty dose of basil, this dish makes an intriguing breakfast or brunch item. Add a salad for a light dinner. If you can't find pancetta (unsmoked Italian bacon), substitute prosciutto or bacon.

I've made these many times. Quick, easy, and delicious. We aren't huge fans of fontina so we typically use a nice sharp cheddar instead. I also toast the bread in our toaster so both sides get toasted then broil the top as directed. A keeper recipe.
