Bread and Fontina AOC gratin

Cut the bread into slices about one centimetre high.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the bread slices in the previously buttered baking dish and pour the egg and milk mixture on top.
Cut the Fontina AOC by removing the rind into thin slices and place them between the bread slices.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190° for 25 minutes.
Garnish with ground pepper.
