Classic Swiss Three-Cheese Fondue image

From "Fondue: Great Food To Dip, Dunk, Savor, and Swirl", by Rick Rodgers. My husband makes this and I make the wheat-free bread and we also dip red and green apples. Other dippers could be boneless cooked chicken cubes, cooked garlic sausage or knockwurst, boiled new potatoes, blanched asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower.

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The fondue was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This fondue was a disaster! The cheese was grainy and the flavor was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of fondue, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The cheese was nice and gooey, and the dippers were all delicious.

This fondue was a bit too heavy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using a different blend of cheese next time.

I love the versatility of this recipe. You can use different types of cheese, add different seasonings, and even serve it with different dippers. It's always a crowd-pleaser.

This fondue was a hit at our New Year's Eve party! I used a blend of Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller cheese, and it was perfectly creamy and flavorful.
