When I say fondue, you probably think of dipping things in chocolate. Well, that's not always so, with this cheese fondue recipe. It is tasty, and the cheese makes it. What better than to dip a piece of pretzel in cheese, and get that salty and cheesy taste in one. This is one good recipe!
CHEESE FONDUE RECIPE
12 ounces of a yummy gruyere cheese shredded as it is easier to melt when it is shredded
You should have about 4 cups of this
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese Make sure it is sharp as that adds to the taste of the fondue
This should make about 1 cup
2 Tablespoons of flour making sure it is all purpose
1 clove of garlic halved
1 cup dry white wine
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice which you can get from a fresh lemon piece of fruit. Just peel some off and squueze into a bowl and put your Tablespoon in and pick up 1 Tablespoon like the recipe calls for.
2 teaspons Dijon mustard so it won't have that regular mustard taste which wouldn't go well with the cheese
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Now this is optional even though you should use it if you want a spicy taste to your fondue
Assorted things for serving such as broccoli florets which taste great in cheese, caluliflower or pretzel sticks
Toss the cheeses with the flour in the bowl. The garlic is halved because you use one half and rub the inside on the edges of a saucepan. Just enough to give the recipe that "kick" in the taste, Throw out the garlic after that as it is no longer needed.
Take the wine, lemon juice and mustard together in a saucepan and whisk and while whisking contine doing it until it comes to a easy simmer over medium heat on the stove top. Now it is time to get rid of the whisk and get out your wooden spoon and add half the cheese mixture and it should be stirred with the wooden spoon until melted. Stir in the rest of the cheese mixture, do it until it is smooth, then if you are using nutmeg, now is the time to add it.
Cook two more minutes while stirring. If you have a fondue pot, great transfer the cheese mixture to that. If hyou do not happen to own a fondue pot put it in a slow cooker (crock pot) to keep war,. Then get out your choice of dippers and have a ball dipping into your delicious cheese fondue
Now enjoy yourself and your fondue and you'll never want to go back to chocolate fodue once you taste this delcious creation that was easy to make and scrumptious in taste!
