Best 5 Blue Cheese Fondue Recipes

GRILLED PESTO MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Soak 15 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. Heat the grill.
• Thread the meat onto skewers, season with salt and pepper, and coat with the pesto. Grill to desired doneness. You can also cook the meat to medium rare then finish it off in the oven just before the party.
• In a small pan over medium-low heat, cook the butter, thyme, and garlic until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the cream, raise the heat to medium, and bring the cream to a simmer. Cook until the cream is reduced by 1/3. Lower the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the pepper and pour into a fondue pot set over low heat.

BLUE CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the warm milk. Continue to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring the sauce to a boil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the blue cheese and cream cheese and cook, about 2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.

IRISH BLUE CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl toss blue cheese, flour, cayenne and dry mustard together; set aside.
• Place lager and half-and-half in a fondue pot over medium-high heat; stir to combine. Bring liquid to a simmer and slowly stir in cheese mixture; continue stirring until cheese is completely melted. Season with salt. Serve immediately with apples, bread, broccoli, and peppers.

CHIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cheese and cornstarch. Toss to coat. Set aside.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, shallots, and rosemary. Season with a pinch of salt and cook until the shallot and garlic soften slightly, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, pepper and cayenne pepper. When the cream mixture begins to bubble, remove from the heat and strain over the blue cheese, whisking to incorporate. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives if using. Serve in a fondue pot next to a big pile of Lola Chips with Rosemary.
• In a medium pot, pour enough oil so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
• Slice the potatoes thinly on a mandoline. As you slice them, put them in a bowl of cold water to cover.
• Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Working in batches if necessary, cook the potatoes in the oil until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic if using, along with the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the oil to a large paper towel-lined bowl and season them with the rosemary and salt, shaking the bowl to distribute the seasonings evenly.

BLUE CHEESE FONDUE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ROASTED CIPOLLINI ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Using a small paring knife peel and halve the cipollini. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Caramelize the onions over high heat for about 5 minutes, transfer pan to the oven and continue to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are nicely caramelized and fully cooked throughout, remove from pan to a plate and let cool slightly. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and onions on a platter with skewers for dipping.
• In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter and cook until it is just beginning to brown. Immediately add the thyme and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to prevent the garlic from browning. Add the cream, raise the heat to medium, bring to a slow simmer and reduce the cream by 1/3, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth, season, to taste, with pepper. Pour the sauce into a fondue pot and set over a candle to keep hot.
• Place the platter of veggies and skewers alongside and serve immediately.
