CRAB CHEESE FONDUE



Crab Cheese Fondue image

This is a creamy, delicious fondue! It is a hit whenever I make it. Guests get so excited to get a big piece of crab and much noise is made when it slips and falls back into the pot! Someone always ends up with a spoon scraping the pot for one last taste! Serve with French bread cubes, using a fondue fork to spear bread and swirl in fondue to coat. Try dipping grapes, carrot slices, or rye bread, whatever you like. I usually serve this fondue with a light salad.

Tips for Making Creamy Cheese Fondue:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your fondue. For the best results, use a combination of hard and soft cheeses that melt well, such as Gruyère, Emmental, and Brie.
  • Grate the cheese yourself: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. For the best results, grate the cheese yourself just before using it.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from scorching.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat: Fondue is a delicate dish, so it's important to cook it over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling or separating.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: Stirring the fondue constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice: Adding a splash of white wine or lemon juice can help to balance out the richness of the cheese and add a bit of acidity.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options: Fondue is traditionally served with bread cubes, but you can also serve it with vegetables, fruits, or even meat.

Conclusion:

Creamy cheese fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for parties, gatherings, or a cozy night in. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy cheese fondue that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give creamy cheese fondue a try.
