Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

KID FRIENDLY FONDUE-REGARDS, --TASTY--

Kid Friendly Fondue-Regards, --Tasty-- image

You don't need a fondue pot to prepare and serve this dish, but it would make for a fun and interesting conversation piece with your children at the dining table. It may also be worth it to you to dust off your old fondue pot from the basement or look for one cheaply at a second hand store. A mild cheddar cheese will work in this recipe, too and if you don't have roasted garlic on hand, just go ahead and add a small pinch of salt-free garlic powder.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 roasted garlic clove, smashed
1 lb monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated (don't buy the pre-grated cheese)
2 tablespoons flour
tiny boiled new potato
cooked pasta (corkscrew, bowtie, "wagon wheels", etc.)
bread cubes (French, whole wheat, multigrain, etc.)
lightly steamed broccoli spears, zucchini, celery, asparagus, bell peppers, carrots or snap peas, cucumber, etc
sliced apples or pear

Steps:

Heat the milk and the garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering, 2 to 3 minutes.
Toss the cheese and flour together in a bowl until the shreds are nicely floured.
Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk a handful at a time, waiting until each handful melts before adding more. Whisk until cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth and velvety.
Holding the food with *fingers, a fondue fork or a regular fork, dip one or several of the options into the pot and swirl to coat with the cheese.
I added a light sprinkle of dried parsley to the top of the fondue.
WARNING!: [[[*Careful! Don't want the children to burn their fingers!]]]. Preparing and serving the fondue requires adult supervision.
Note: servings are estimated.

Tips:

Choose the right cheese. A good melting cheese is essential for a smooth and creamy fondue. Some good options include Gruyère, Emmental, and Fontina. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as half Gruyère and half Emmental.
Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from scorching.
Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
Season the fondue to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic, nutmeg, or other spices to taste.
Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some good choices include bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
