Cobly or Monteray Jack Fondue image

Most classic fondue recipes use Swiss or Swiss and Gruyere cheese. Not all cheese made good fondues and will separate into two layers of cheese and wine, or are too runny to be used. This recipe has been modified to work with Colby or Monterey Jack neither of which work well in the classic fondue recipe.

KID FRIENDLY FONDUE-REGARDS, --TASTY--



Kid Friendly Fondue-Regards, --Tasty-- image

You don't need a fondue pot to prepare and serve this dish, but it would make for a fun and interesting conversation piece with your children at the dining table. It may also be worth it to you to dust off your old fondue pot from the basement or look for one cheaply at a second hand store. A mild cheddar cheese will work in this recipe, too and if you don't have roasted garlic on hand, just go ahead and add a small pinch of salt-free garlic powder.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
1 roasted garlic clove, smashed
1 lb monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated (don't buy the pre-grated cheese)
2 tablespoons flour
tiny boiled new potato
cooked pasta (corkscrew, bowtie, "wagon wheels", etc.)
bread cubes (French, whole wheat, multigrain, etc.)
lightly steamed broccoli spears, zucchini, celery, asparagus, bell peppers, carrots or snap peas, cucumber, etc
sliced apples or pear

Steps:

  • Heat the milk and the garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Toss the cheese and flour together in a bowl until the shreds are nicely floured.
  • Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk a handful at a time, waiting until each handful melts before adding more. Whisk until cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth and velvety.
  • Holding the food with *fingers, a fondue fork or a regular fork, dip one or several of the options into the pot and swirl to coat with the cheese.
  • I added a light sprinkle of dried parsley to the top of the fondue.
  • WARNING!: [[[*Careful! Don't want the children to burn their fingers!]]]. Preparing and serving the fondue requires adult supervision.
  • Note: servings are estimated.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Colby cheese for the best flavor. If you can't find Colby, you can substitute Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the fondue grainy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to make the fondue. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry slowly, stirring constantly. This will help to thicken the fondue without making it gummy.
  • Season the fondue to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the fondue immediately with your favorite dipping items.

Conclusion:

Colby cheese fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or meal. It's perfect for parties or special occasions. With its creamy, cheesy flavor and endless dipping options, Colby cheese fondue is sure to be a hit with everyone.
