QUICK FONTINA CHEESE FONDUE

Quick Fontina Cheese Fondue image

This recipe is similar to a one from a well-known food chain. But I find it to be richer and have more flavor depth. Serve it with chunks of bread, apples, and pears.

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup dry white wine
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup chicken stock
2 cups shredded fontina cheese

Steps:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes. Whisk in wine, mustard, and cayenne.
Mix heavy whipping cream into the flour-butter mixture; cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add fontina cheese; stir until melted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a fondue pot.
