Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups light cream
7 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 chicken bouillon cubes
2 1/4 cups Gruyère cheese, grated
1 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
3/4 cup white wine (more or less depending on taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine cream, flour, and Worcestershire sauce, and set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, sauté onion in butter with bouillon cubes over high heat, stirring until cubes are completely dissolved.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add cream mixture, whisking constantly until thickened.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Gruyère cheese. This is the key ingredient in fondue, so it's important to use a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add the wine and kirsch gradually. This will help to prevent the fondue from becoming too thin or too strong.
  • Season the fondue to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers. This could include bread, vegetables, fruit, or meat.

Conclusion:

Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make a perfect fondue that your friends and family will love. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy meal, give fondue a try.
