Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cipollini onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 pound blue cheese, crumbled (recommended: Pt. Reyes)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Using a small paring knife peel and halve the cipollini. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Caramelize the onions over high heat for about 5 minutes, transfer pan to the oven and continue to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are nicely caramelized and fully cooked throughout, remove from pan to a plate and let cool slightly. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and onions on a platter with skewers for dipping.
  • In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter and cook until it is just beginning to brown. Immediately add the thyme and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to prevent the garlic from browning. Add the cream, raise the heat to medium, bring to a slow simmer and reduce the cream by 1/3, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth, season, to taste, with pepper. Pour the sauce into a fondue pot and set over a candle to keep hot.
  • Place the platter of veggies and skewers alongside and serve immediately.

I had some trouble getting the fondue to melt smoothly. I ended up adding a little bit of milk and that helped.

This fondue was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using a lighter cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but this fondue was still really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the fondue was very creamy.
