Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
2 cups shredded Gruyere
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Sauvignon Blanc, or any other dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
2 cloves garlic
Serving suggestions: sliced apples and pears, roasted potatoes and bread chunks

Steps:

  • Place the Cheddar, Gruyere and Swiss cheeses into a large zip-top bag along with the flour. Shake well to coat.
  • Bring the Sauvignon Blanc to a boil in a large saucepan, then reduce to a simmer. Whisk in the cheese 1/2 cup at a time, making sure the cheese melts before each addition. Add the butter and malt vinegar, then reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to keep warm.
  • Using a chef knife, microplane zester or handheld press, crush the garlic into a paste, reserving the juices. Rub all over the inside of a fondue pot to coat well. If there is any excess garlic paste, toss it into the saucepan and whisk it in.
  • Pour the fondue into the prepared pot and serve immediately with sliced apples and pears, roasted potatoes, chunks of fresh bread or whatever else you feel like dunking in a big vat of melted cheese.

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     Appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (8 oz)
2 cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese (8 oz)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons kirsch, dry sherry, brandy or nonalcoholic white wine
1 loaf (1 lb) French bread, cut into 1-inch pieces
Apple and pear slices, if desired

Steps:

  • In resealable plastic food-storage bag, place cheeses and flour. Shake until cheese is coated with flour.
  • Rub garlic on bottom and side of fondue pot, heavy saucepan or skillet; discard garlic. Add wine. Heat over simmer setting on fondue pot or over low heat just until bubbles rise to surface (do not boil). Stir in lemon juice.
  • Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wire whisk over low heat, until melted. Stir in kirsch.
  • Keep warm over simmer setting. If prepared in saucepan or skillet, pour into a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and keep warm over low heat. Fondue must be served over heat to maintain its smooth, creamy texture.
  • Spear bread and fruit with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup heated wine.

Tips:

  • Use good quality cheese. The better the cheese, the better the fondue will be. Look for a cheese that is specifically labeled for fondue, or use a combination of cheeses that melt well together, such as Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the fondue grainy. For the best results, grate the cheese yourself using a box grater or a food processor.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to keep the cheese smooth and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to the fondue. This will help to thicken it and make it more creamy.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers. Some popular choices include bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Cheese fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a fondue that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dish to serve, give cheese fondue a try!
