For Valentine’s Day, Kevin and I made our first (hopefully of many) cheese fondue. It was beyond flavorful and delicious! We used a recipe from the Melting Pot.
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Butterkäse (we substituted Gouda)
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Fontina cheese
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white wine (we used Pinot Grigio)
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons chopped shallots
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup crumbled Blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
Toss the Butterkäse and Fontina cheese with the flour in a bowl. Place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of water. You may also use a conventional double boiler. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the white wine and sherry into the bowl. Stir in the shallots using a fork. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add half the cheese blend and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add the remaining cheese blend a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until the cheese is melted. Fold in the pepper and Blue cheese. Pour into a warm fondue pot and keep warm over low heat. Garnish with the scallions.
