BEER CHEESE FONDUE



Beer Cheese Fondue image

Soft pretzels, sliced German sausages, pickled garden vegetables, and roasted Brussels sprouts can all be dipped in this oozy cheese sauce for one amusing wintertime party. Swiss Alpine-style cheeses are the best choice for fondue, given their earthy, robust flavor and excellent melting quality. Substitute any easy-melting cheese for the Gruyère found in this recipe. Raclette, Emmentaler, Cheddar, Fontina, and Gouda are all delicious choices, and can be blended for a more complex flavor.

4 teaspoons dry mustard

Pour into a warm fondue pot and keep warm over low heat. Garnish with scallions. That's it! Then you can enjoy the dish with whatever you choose for dipping. You could use bread, vegetables or even fruit to tickle your friends and family's taste buds.

Tips for a Perfect Cheese Fondue:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Try using a combination of hard and soft cheeses, such as Gruyère, Emmental, and Gouda. You can also add some flavorful cheeses, such as Parmesan or Gorgonzola, for an extra kick.
  • Grate the cheese finely: Finely grated cheese will melt more evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will contribute to the flavor of the fondue, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A light lager or ale is a good option.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: Bourbon adds a smoky, caramelized flavor to the fondue. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy sipping on its own.
  • Don't overheat the fondue: Fondue is best served at a low temperature, so it doesn't burn. If you're using a fondue pot, keep the heat on low and stir the fondue constantly.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options: Bread, vegetables, and fruit are all great options for dipping in fondue. You can also serve it with crackers or pretzels.
  • Enjoy the fondue! Fondue is a great way to gather with friends and family and enjoy a delicious meal.
