La Fondue Smoky Cheese

  • Ingredients

    Fondue:

    • 2 cups smoked Gouda, shredded
    • 1 cup Gruyère, shredded
    • 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay work well)
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

    For Dipping:

    • Sliced baguette
    • Grilled asparagus
    • Grilled zucchini
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Sliced bell peppers
    • Sliced mushrooms
    • Baby tomatoes
    • Slices apples
    • Sliced pears
    • Gherkin pickles
    • Cooked sausage slices

  • Instructions:

    1. Prep the Cheese: In a medium bowl, toss all the shredded cheeses with the cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help thicken the fondue and keep it smooth.
    2. Start the Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the wine, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.
    3. Add the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Gradually add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk. Let each addition melt completely before adding more.
    4. Season: Once the cheese is fully melted and smooth, stir in the smoked paprika and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    5. Serve: Transfer the fondue to ceramic fondue pot a low heat. Serve immediately with your prepared dippers.

    Tip

    For an alcohol-free cheese fondue, replace the wine with cold-pressed natural apple juice, non-alcoholic cider, or a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, and sugar. Non-alcoholic wine is also an option, although it may leave a slight aftertaste.
