We love to do fondue night as a family or with friends. It feels totally fancy, but is actually pretty quick and easy to throw together. This is our favorite fondue recipe because it is not too "fancy cheese"-y so the kids and our grocery budget can enjoy it too!
1 cup dry white wine*
1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
12 oz. shredded gouda cheese (rind trimmed)
4 oz. shredded aged Gouda cheese (rind trimmed)
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg**
1 pinch cayenne pepper**
Combine wine (or substitute) and lemon juice in the top of a double broiler. Toss grated cheeses and cornstarch together. When wine comes to a boil (if using milk and chicken broth do not actually boil, just bring to almost a boil), slowly add cheese and cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously until smooth. Season with nutmeg and cayenne, if using. Transfer to a fondue pot to keep warm while serving.
DIPPERS:
cubed french or sourdough bread
sliced red peppers
cheese tortellinis
bite sized potatoes
sliced pears
grapes
roasted broccoli (or any other roasted veggie would be good: zucchini, carrots, squash, cauliflower, etc)
cubed steak (fully cooked)
*You can substitute apple cider or chicken broth or 1/2c chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk for the wine
**I typically leave these out
