Double Cheese Fondue 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!

DOUBLE-CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan or chafing dish, heat soup, wine and cheese over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted. Stir in garlic powder, a few drops pepper sauce and the onions. Pour into fondue pot or chafing dish to keep warm.
• Spear bread pieces and vegetables with fondue forks; dip into fondue. (If fondue becomes too thick, stir in a small amount of dry white wine or apple juice.)

BETTER-THAN-A-RESTAURANT CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Pour enough water into a large pot to be a few inches deep. Set a large stainless steel bowl atop the pot to make a double-boiler. Put garlic cloves into the bowl and turn heat below double-boiler to medium; cook until the garlic is fragrant and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour wine into the bowl; cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove garlic from wine and discard.
• Mix Gruyere cheese, Cheddar cheese, and flour in a bowl; gradually add to the wine while stirring continually. Cook and stir the mixture until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

SWISS CHEESE FONDUE RECIPE

Steps:

• In the top pan of a double boiler over hot water, combine water, white wine, garlic, butter, white pepper, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. You must use a double boil or the cheese will burn.
• Add shredded cheese (a cup or so at a time), stirring continuously, until the cheese melts into a smooth, heavy sauce. Additional wine may be added if the cheese mixture is too smooth. Remove from heat. NOTE: You may add more cheese or wine, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.
• To serve, pour prepared fondue in a previously heated heavy fondue pot. I have found, through experience and many different fondue pot over the years, that the electric fondue pots work the best. You sill have to watch that the pots don't get too hot. If you don't have a fondue pot, you could use a small crock pot or slow cooker instead.
• Serve immediately with bread slices or bread cubes for dipping with wooden picks or fondue forks for dipping. We like to serve this fondue with dark rye bread.
• Keep the fondue warm over as low heat as possible to avoid scorching the cheese.
• Serve the same dry white wine that you use for the fondue as a refreshment for your guest. Serves Many!
