International Cheese Melt(It'S Worth Yelling About) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese
    2 oz. Swiss cheese (Emmentaler or Gruyere)
    1 oz. grated Parmesan or Romano
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1 Tbsp. dried basil, crushed between fingers
    3 Tbsp. lemon juice (yes, bottled is fine)
    assorted raw veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrot is good)
    a large baguette (whole-wheat is best!), sliced into 1 1/2-inch chunks (slice diagonally for prettiness; 1 baguette per 2 people, unless you're really hungry)
Preparation
    Combine cheeses, garlic and basil in 6-inch cast-iron frypan or heavy ovenproof casserole. (You can use a larger pan or casserole for several people, individual servings are really necessary for this.)
    Pop into a 350\u00b0 oven until cheese has melted smoothly.
    Toss the bread slices onto the rack along with the pan of cheese.
    Toast for 1 minute on each side.
