Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Emmental cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Beer (preferably a light lager or ale)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cubes of bread, apple slices, and assorted vegetables for dipping
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the shredded cheddar and Emmental cheeses with the all-purpose flour. This will help prevent clumping during the melting process.
Heat a fondue pot or medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the beer and minced garlic, and bring to a low simmer. Avoid boiling the beer, as this may affect the flavor.
Gradually add the cheese mixture to the pot, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Wait until each handful is melted and smooth before adding the next.
Once all the cheese is melted, stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Continue stirring until fully incorporated and the fondue is smooth and velvety.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the fondue warm. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top for a pop of color.
Serve immediately with cubes of bread, apple slices, and assorted fresh vegetables for dipping. Encourage diners to stir the fondue occasionally to prevent it from separating.
