If you love cheese as much as I do then this recipe is for you! This was very delicious and a fan favorite at a holiday party. Having a variety of dipping elements is what I feel is the most important aspect of a fondue night. Creating fondue is one of the easiest things that you can do for your dinner party. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients needed for fondue:
1/3 lb fontina
1/3 lb gouda
1/3 lb gruyere
1 clove of garlic
1 cup of dry white wine
2 Tbs cornstarch
1 Tbs brandy
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Getting cheesy..
Shred the cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the cornstarch. Make sure to mix the cornstarch throughout the cheese, it helps the fondue to be smooth instead of lumpy.
In a medium pot combine the wine, garlic, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cheese to the mixture, one small handful at a time. Between handfuls of cheese, be sure to stir with a spatula. Once the cheese is smooth, stir the nutmeg, brandy, and mustard.
Pour the cheese into a fondue pot and enjoy!
Dippers..
There are many options for what to dip into cheese. I have numbered the list below from my most favorite to just favorite.
Cherry tomatoes
Tart apples
Bread
Roasted potatoes
Pickles
Steamed broccoli
Grapes
Meat
Carrots
Pretzels
I know you will enjoy this deliciously smooth fondue recipe. I found that the brandy was almost like a secret ingredient. Without the brandy the melted cheese would not have been as decadent and scrumptious! I recommend with any fondue that a light salad is served alongside the party.
