Best Cheese Fondue With Chiles And Mushrooms Recipes

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Grate all of the cheeses. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.
• In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg.
• Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!

GARLIC MUSHROOM FONDUE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chanterelles, shiitakes and garlic and cook on medium heat until the mushrooms are fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and chile de arbol and mix well until evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the mushrooms to a plate.
• To the same skillet, add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Toss the Monterey Jack and Oaxaca cheese with the cornstarch until well coated. Slowly stir the cheese into the skillet and continue to gently stir until melted and smooth.
• Pour into a fondue pot and keep warm. Top with the reserved mushrooms and serve with crostini or your favorite crudites.

FONDUE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss the mushrooms with the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange open-side down on the rack. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Turn the mushrooms open-side up. Fill each with 1/2 teaspoon of the panko mixture and a cube of cheese; sprinkle with more of the panko mixture. Bake until the cheese is melted and the panko is golden, 5 minutes.

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
