Three Cheese Fondue image

When you think "1970s Party" you think fondue. Still, it defies logic that a pot full of melted cheese has been out of fashion for over 40 years.

Call your friends over immediately, because it's time to get your #cheesevibes on.

Provided by Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
2 cups shredded Gruyere
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Sauvignon Blanc, or any other dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
2 cloves garlic
Serving suggestions: sliced apples and pears, roasted potatoes and bread chunks

Steps:

  • Place the Cheddar, Gruyere and Swiss cheeses into a large zip-top bag along with the flour. Shake well to coat.
  • Bring the Sauvignon Blanc to a boil in a large saucepan, then reduce to a simmer. Whisk in the cheese 1/2 cup at a time, making sure the cheese melts before each addition. Add the butter and malt vinegar, then reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to keep warm.
  • Using a chef knife, microplane zester or handheld press, crush the garlic into a paste, reserving the juices. Rub all over the inside of a fondue pot to coat well. If there is any excess garlic paste, toss it into the saucepan and whisk it in.
  • Pour the fondue into the prepared pot and serve immediately with sliced apples and pears, roasted potatoes, chunks of fresh bread or whatever else you feel like dunking in a big vat of melted cheese.

Tips:

  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make your fondue grainy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Add the wine and broth slowly. This will help to prevent the fondue from becoming too thin.
  • Season the fondue to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some popular choices include bread, vegetables, and fruit.
  • Keep the fondue warm over a low flame. This will help to prevent it from congealing.
  • If the fondue does start to congeal, add a little bit of milk or cream. This will help to thin it out.

Conclusion:

Three-cheese fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the perfect fondue every time. So gather your friends and family, and enjoy this classic Swiss dish!
