Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir, breaking up clumps with a spatula, for a few minutes. Stir in onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes total.

Remove lid, stir in remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and mascarpone. Spread mixture out in the skillet, and top with shredded fontina and Parmesan.

Preheat the oven’s broiler, and place a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Broil until cheese is golden and melted, about 3 minutes.
