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.

CHEESE FONDUE MELTING POT CHEDDAR WITH BEER RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Cheese Fondue Melting Pot Cheddar with Beer Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by btaylor

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup Coors Light beer
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
6 ounces medium-sharp cheddar cheese
2 ounces Emmentaler Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
I used half the beer and substituted milk for rest and used all cheddar, no Swiss. Ended up adding lots more milk to thin it so it was not sticky and stringy.

Steps:

  • If you are using an electric fondue pot, turn it onto medium; otherwise use a double boiler to heat up this mixture. Place beer, garlic, dry mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in the pot and combine well. Shred or cube the cheeses and toss with flour, coating the cheese well. (The flour will help thicken the sauce.) When the beer mixture is warm, add one-third of the cheese and whisk very well. Once the cheese has been incorporated well, add half of the remaining cheese and whisk in very well. Add the remaining cheese and whisk until nice and smooth. Cooks notes: If you do not wish to make this with beer, I cannot give you a suggestion for the beer other than a product like O'Doul's or a near-beer with less than 3.2 percent alcohol. The beer flavor really adds a lot to this dish. Please do not serve this dish to people who do not drink alcohol. Alcohol really doesn't fully cook out of the food. The Melting Pot uses vegetable broth in place of beer for those that do not want alcohol. It is just as good as with the beer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese. A good fondue cheese should be melty, smooth, and flavorful. Some good options include Gruyère, Emmental, and Beaufort. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as a combination of Gruyère and Emmental.
  • Use a good quality beer. The beer that you use will contribute to the flavor of the fondue, so it's important to choose a beer that you enjoy drinking. A light-bodied beer, such as a pilsner or a lager, is a good option. You can also use a darker beer, such as a stout or a porter, for a more robust flavor.
  • Don't overheat the fondue. Fondue should be served warm and melted, but it's important to not overheat it. Overheating can cause the cheese to separate and become grainy.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. Stirring the fondue constantly will help to prevent it from burning and will also help to keep it smooth and creamy.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some popular dipping options include bread, vegetables, and meat. You can also serve the fondue with a variety of sauces, such as a tomato sauce or a mustard sauce.

Conclusion:

Cheesy beer fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, a main course, or a dessert. It's a great way to enjoy a cold winter night or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own cheesy beer fondue at home.
