I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, and it was much better. I also added some chopped green onions and it gave the fonduta a nice pop of flavor.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a blend of cheeses, rather than just mozzarella. However, the fonduta was still good and I enjoyed dipping bread into it.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but even I enjoyed this fonduta. It was light and flavorful, and the smoked mozzarella gave it a nice depth of flavor. I especially liked dipping chunks of crusty bread into it.
