Time 30m

Yield Serves 10 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

Olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Couple sprigs fresh thyme or marjoram, leaves picked
1 1/2 to 2 ounces/ 50 ml cider
14 ounces/ 400 g Cheddar cheese
14 ounces/ 400 g Gruyere cheese
5 1/2 ounces/ 150 g blue cheese
2 tablespoons creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Fondue is quite a retro concept but it's easy to make and the sort of thing that you should start cooking once your guests have arrived. That way, it will be runny and gooey and perfect when everyone is ready to eat and they'll all be interested and excited by what's going on in the pan.
  • Heat a lug of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Put a large saucepan with an inch or two of hot water on a low heat. Put a large heatproof bowl over the saucepan so you have a bain-marie.
  • Add the chopped shallots to the frying pan and cook them gently for around 5 to 10 minutes with a pinch of salt and pepper and the herbs. Once they've softened, but not coloured, add them to the bowl with the cider and all of the cheese.
  • Leave the cheese to slowly melt down, only stirring now and then to help it along. Once it has mostly melted, stir in the creme fraiche, then a swig or 2 of hot water to loosen the mixture a little. Have a taste to check the seasoning, and get all of your dipping ingredients and skewers at the ready.

I love this cheese fondue recipe! It's so simple to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with bread, vegetables, and fruit, but it's also great with pretzels or crackers.

This cheese fondue was a disaster! It was oily and grainy, and it didn't taste good at all. I'm really disappointed.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheese fondue turned out grainy and oily. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I've made cheese fondue before, but this recipe was by far the best. The cheese was perfectly melted and smooth, and the flavor was amazing.
