BEST FORMULA THREE-CHEESE FONDUE



Best Formula Three-Cheese Fondue image

We tried a couple of recipes; this was voted the best! The Gruyere gives a very sweet and nutty flavour to the fondue, the sharp Cheddar makes it tangy, and the Emmentaler blends it all. Cooking the flour first helps the mixture not to be so pasty and powdery.

200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g comte or gruyère, grated
200g emmental, grated
2 tsp cornflour

1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités and cornichons, to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming.

Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
  • Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame.

CHEDDAR CHEESE FONDUE



Cheddar Cheese Fondue image

This is the only cheese fondue we ever make. Caution...make it once and you'll be craving it constantly!

Provided by Denver Chef

Categories     Cheese

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 (8 ounce) can beer
1 teaspoon Accent seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Mix a teaspoon or so of the flour with the cheese.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan.
  • Mix in flour.
  • Gradually add beer, then Accent, salt, mustard and worcestershire sauce.
  • Stir occasionally until sauce thickens and comes to a slow boil.
  • Add cheese and stir until melted.
  • Serve with bread cubes, veggies and whatever else you love with cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your fondue. Look for a cheese that is smooth, creamy, and has a good melting quality. Swiss, Gruyère, and cheddar are all good options.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, a type of fiber that can make your fondue grainy. Grating the cheese yourself will give you a smoother, creamier fondue.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to prevent the fondue from scorching.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to keep it smooth and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour. This will help to thicken the fondue if it is too thin.
  • Season the fondue to taste. You can add a variety of spices and herbs to your fondue, such as garlic, onion, nutmeg, and paprika.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some popular options include bread, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a party or a romantic dinner. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious fondue at home. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy meal, give fondue a try.
