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.

Time 25m

Yield 1 pot, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups shredded butterkase cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Fontina cheese
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons chopped shallots
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Toss the Butterkase and Fontina cheese with the flour in a bowl. Place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of water. You may also use a conventional double boiler. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the white wine and sherry into the bowl. Stir in the shallots using a fork. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Add half the cheese blend and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add the remaining cheese blend in a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until the cheese is melted. Fold in the pepper and Blue cheese. Pour into a warm fondue pot and keep warm over low heat. Garnish with the scallions.

Tips:

  • To make the fondue creamy and smooth, use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Stir the fondue constantly while it is melting to prevent it from curdling.
  • If the fondue is too thick, add a little bit of milk or white wine to thin it out.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread, vegetables, or fruit.
  • Keep the fondue warm over a fondue burner or in a slow cooker set on low.
