Categories     Appetizer

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup light beer
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
4 teaspoons dry mustard
4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons Worecesteshire sauce
2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons crispy fried bacon
3 tablespoons sliced scallions

Steps:

  • If you do not have a fondue pot to prepare the fondue in, you may prepare a double boiler. To prepare a double boiler place 2 to 3 inches of water in a pot, and then place a heat-proof bowl over the pot. The bowl should make a tight seal. The heat should be turned up high enough to boil, then the temperature should be reduced to medium.
  • Place beer into the bowl with the garlic, dry mustard, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Combine the cheese and cornstarch together. When the beer warms to almost boiling add half of the cheese. Stirring the cheese constantly, until it has melted.
  • Continue to add cheese by small handfuls until all of the cheese has been melted completely. Add in 3 tablespoons of crispy cooked bacon. If you are using a double boiler remove from heat. Place the cheese in a bowl and garnish with the remaining bacon and sliced scallions. Serve with plenty of bread, baby-cut carrots, green apple, and other items of your choice.

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Time 45m

Yield about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 pieces bacon, cut into small dice
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
Pinch salt
Pinch sugar
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup heavy cream
Few twists freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Squeeze fresh lime juice
Sour Cream Potato Pancakes, recipe follows, or crostini, for serving
6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 eggs
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
Olive oil or grapeseed oil, for cooking

Steps:

  • For the fondue: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheese, parsley, and pepper until the cheese blends in. Remove from the heat, stir until smooth. Cover and keep warm.
  • For the relish: Split the avocado in half, remove the pit, and spoon the flesh from the skin. Dice into 1/4-inch cubes, toss with the lemon juice, and set aside.
  • In small saute pan over high heat, bring the oil to a shimmer, and then add the bacon and shallots, cooking until the shallots are translucent and the bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon and shallots from the pan into a bowl. Stir in the vinegar, salt, and sugar, mixing well. Drain excess liquid before serving
  • For the creme fraiche: In a bowl, add the creme fraiche, heavy cream, white pepper, hot sauce, and lime juice. Whisk well to blend. Set aside.
  • For serving: Place the Sour Cream Potato Cakes (or crostini) on a platter, top with a smear of fondue, a bit of the bacon relish, and a drizzle of creme fraiche.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, add the potatoes, eggs, sour cream, flour, and salt.
  • Pulse until the mixture is just blended and you don't have chunks. It should look like cooked oatmeal. Do not over-mix or the potatoes will get gummy!
  • Heat a good swirl of oil in a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  • Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the pan to make bite-sized cakes. Cook the cakes until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

When the butter melts, add the garlic and let it sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the Gruyere and whisk until smooth. Add the Cheddar and whisk until smooth and no lumps of cheese remain. Heat until the cheese bubbles slightly at the edges. Remove from the heat and stir in the sherry, lots of black pepper and the nutmeg.

  • Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
