Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Fresh lump crabmeat
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the rind from the Brie cheese and cut it into small cubes. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and heat until warm but not boiling.
Add the cream cheese and Brie cheese cubes to the saucepan. Stir continuously until both cheeses melt and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, being careful not to break it apart too much. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the crab is heated through.
Season the fondue with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Transfer the fondue to a warm fondue pot and serve immediately with dipping items such as crusty bread, steamed vegetables, crackers, or sliced apples.
