TOMATO FONDUE
Steps:
- Cook the minced shallots or scallions in butter, in a small frying pan or saucepan, for a minute or 2 without browning. Then add the tomato and cook over moderately high heat for several minutes until juices have exuded and tomato pulp has thickened enough to hold its shape lightly in a spoon. Season carefully to taste. Just before serving, fold in the herbs.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH TOMATO AND BASIL
These sandwiches were cooked on a grill, but a skillet would work just as well. Choose your favorite kind of cheese. We prefer a variety that melts easily, such as Gouda or Swiss, but cheddar is also good.

Steps:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Arrange 4 slices, buttered side down, on clean work surface. Divide cheese evenly among 4 slices of bread. Arrange tomato slices over cheese, cutting slices in half to fit if necessary. Scatter basil leaves over tomatoes. Top with remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
- Place sandwiches on a medium-hot grill, off direct heat. Cook until bread is golden and cheese is beginning to melt, about 4 minutes depending on heat of grill.
- Turn sandwiches over, and continue grilling until bread is golden and cheese is completely melted. Move to a slightly cooler part of the grill to melt if bread is darkening too much.

Steps:
- Simmer the tomato juice, lemon and soup mix for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, melting between each handful.
- When it is all melted you are done.
- We always use bread but you could use veggies or meat.
- It can be a bit salty so I think that is why bread works best.
- Also if you use a brand name onion soup mix I think its less likely to be too salty.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tomatoes. For the best flavor, use a mix of ripe, juicy tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes. Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use fresh basil. Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the fondue.
- Use a good quality Gouda cheese. The type of Gouda cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the fondue. Look for a Gouda that is aged for at least 6 months.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers. Some popular dippers include bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
- Keep the fondue warm. Fondue is best served warm. You can keep it warm by placing it over a fondue burner or in a slow cooker.
Conclusion:
Tomato basil and Gouda cheese fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this fondue is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive way to entertain, give this recipe a try.
