Three Cheese Dunk Recipes

3-CHEESE MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In large pot filled with water add 3 pinches of salt and the macaroni and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and let cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat, whisking until a roux or paste forms. Add cold milk and whisk vigorously until dissolved. Cook sauce on medium-low heat until thick and bubbly. Add heavy cream, all cheeses, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper. Cook until cheeses are fully melted, stirring occasionally.
• Add cooked macaroni to cheese mixture and mix thoroughly. Place macaroni mixture in a 13 by 9 baking dish and top with breadcrumbs. Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Top with fresh parsley and serve.

CLASSIC SWISS THREE-CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Rub the inside of a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan with the garlic; discard the garlic.
• Add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a bare simmer over medium heat.
• In a medium bowl, toss the Gruyere, Emmentaler, and Appenzeller cheeses with the cornstarch.
• A handful at a time, stir the cheese mixture into the wine, stirring the first batch until it is almost completely melted before adding another.
• The fondue can bubble gently, but do not boil.
• Stir in the kirsch and season with the nutmeg and pepper.
• Transfer to a cheese fondue pot and keep warm over a fondue burner.
• Serve immediately with dipping ingredients of your choice.

CLAM CHEESE DUNK

Steps:

• Combine ingredients.
• Keep chilled.
• Remove from refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving.

THREE CHEESE HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel all the potatoes and, as you peel them, put them in a large container with 1 gallon water and the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Once they are all peeled, remove them from the water and pat dry. Then slice the potatoes about 1/4-inch apart and about three-quarters of the way through to create a series of uniform slices so that they are still joined together at the bottom. This should create a fan type finish to the potatoes.
• Next, using a whisk, blend the butter, parsley, salt and pepper. Make sure to mix well. Dunk the potatoes into the butter mixture, making sure that the slits in the potato soak up the mixture as well. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes, re-heat any remaining butter and drizzle on top. Divide the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Once melted, remove the potatoes and serve.
