Weekly Recipe: Four Cheese Fondue

On Saturday night we had my mom and her boyfriend over for dinner. Stephen and I created a delicious pot of fondue and feel that we must share it with you! It was so good we finished it all....

 

Ingredients:

 1 cup Fontina cheese, grated

1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated

1/2 cup medium cheddar cheese, grated

1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

4 ounces Pancetta

4 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Pinch cayenne pepper

1 shallot, minced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 and 1/2 cup white wine

1/4 cup dry sherry

2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons Olive oil

Method:

1.       Grate cheeses and mix with flour, mustard, and cayenne to coat cheese.

2.       Heat olive oil in a 3-quart saucepot. Add pancetta to oil and sauté for one minute.

3.       Add garlic and shallots to the pot and sweat until fragrant.

4.       Deglaze pan with white wine and sherry, heat to a simmer.

5.       Add 1/3 of the cheese mixture at a time to pot.

6.       Stir well and when ready add scallions, salt, and pepper.

7.       Transfer to fondue pot and enjoy!

Dippers possibilities:

Apples (we used Granny Smith because the acid cuts through the richness of the cheese)

Sourdough bread

Bratwurst

Broccoli (steamed al dente)
