CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE

Classic Cheese Fondue image

Want to make fondue like a Swiss guru? Try this easy, simple, and foolproof method for making the ultimate cheese lover's dish! The combination of acidic wine with the rich, buttery cheeses is a wonder to behold. Besides the amazing taste and texture, there's just something fun about eating things off the end of a really long fork! Half the fun of this is customizing the platter of "dippables" to your taste, such as cubes of crusty bread, sausage, baby potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, fennel, apples, or grapes.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1 tablespoon cherry brandy
1 clove garlic, slightly crushed
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese

Steps:

Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add Gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses, one handful at a time, slowly whisking after each addition until melted. Continue whisking until all cheese is melted and sauce is very smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot to serve.
Keep sauce warm while serving so it doesn't solidify.

BEST FORMULA THREE-CHEESE FONDUE

Best Formula Three-Cheese Fondue image

We tried a couple of recipes; this was voted the best! The Gruyere gives a very sweet and nutty flavour to the fondue, the sharp Cheddar makes it tangy, and the Emmentaler blends it all. Cooking the flour first helps the mixture not to be so pasty and powdery.

Irish Cheddar Fondue with Stout and Whiskey image

I am unsure where this originated from but one of my girlfriends brought this to girls night. She came prepared with recipe and directions made up for us. Smart girl!! Since then, I have made this up several times with several different groups of people and it has not lasted very long. It is always a good thing when some is...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 c shredded irish cheddar cheese (10 ounces)
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp butter
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 teaspoons)
12 oz irish stout beer
2 Tbsp irish whiskey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground mustard powder

Steps:

1. Toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch in a large bowl and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or saucier over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Pour in the stout and whiskey, stir in salt and mustard powder. When the sauce begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium low.
3. Add one (1) handful of the cheese and cornstarch mixture to the pot and whisk until the cheese is completely melted. Continue adding handfuls of the cheese mixture to the pot, stirring until each addition is melted before adding the next addition of cheese; this will take 2 to 3 minutes. When all of the cheese has been melted, continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the fondue to a bowl and serve immediately with cubed bread, sliced apples, or leftover corned beef as dippers.
