(If you don't have a double boiler, fill a saucepan a third of the way with water and bring to a boil, place a metal bowl over the saucepan. This will work as a double boiler.)

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:

  • To ensure the ultimate smoothness of your fondue, use a double boiler or a fondue pot to melt the cheese. This indirect heat will help prevent the cheese from scorching or becoming grainy.
  • Grate the cheeses yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts more evenly and smoothly, resulting in a superior fondue texture.
  • If you find the fondue is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out. Conversely, if it's too thin, add more cheese to thicken it.
  • Keep the fondue warm but not boiling. The ideal temperature for serving fondue is between 200°F and 225°F (93°C and 107°C). If it gets too hot, the cheese will separate and become oily.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options, such as bread cubes, vegetables, meat, and seafood. This will allow your guests to customize their fondue experience.

Conclusion:

Whether you're hosting a special occasion or just looking for a fun and easy way to enjoy a meal with friends and family, sherry crabmeat fondue is sure to be a hit. With its creamy, cheesy texture, succulent crabmeat, and flavorful sherry, this dish is both indulgent and delicious. So gather your loved ones, fire up the fondue pot, and let the dippin' begin!
