Tex-Mex Cheese Fondue image

I went to a fancy Fondue restaurant with my daughter and can't wait to try making fondue myself--it seems so easy! I thought this would be a great recipe to start with. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (February 1990)

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 lbs gruyere or 1 1/4 lbs swiss cheese, grated
1 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup flour
2 garlic cloves, halved
2 1/2 cups white wine
3 tablespoons tequila
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, chopped (use the seeds too for an extra kick)
salt
pepper
crusty bread cubes (the restaurant I went to used an assortment of breads, I thought this is a great way to use leftover)
sausage, cooked and sliced (kielbasa or hot Italian)
vegetables, sliced in big chunks

Steps:

  • Place both cheese in a large bowl and add flour, toss.
  • Rub inside of fondue pot with garlic. Discard garlic.
  • Add wine and tequila to pot and warm over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear.
  • Add one handful of cheese mixture to wine mixture and stir constantly until cheese melts. ADJUST HEAT SO MIXTURE DOES NOT BOIL.
  • Repeat with remaining cheese; stirring until thick. Stir in cilantro and chilies and season with salt and pepper.
  • Set pot over candles or Sterno on serving table. Serve with skewers of bread cubes, sausages and/or vegetables.
  • Serve with tortilla chips if desired.
