Cheese Fondue-Have yourself a serving of this cheesy fondue pronto! Dip in crusty bread, apples or cold veggies. Pick your favorite cheeses and make it your own. 

Years ago, my sister and I used to dine at a fondue restaurant, The Melting Pot.  It was delicious, but, golly, it was expensive.  So, I started making a cheese fondue at home, to make my life and wallet a bit happier.

This bowl of cheesy goodness will be perfect for your next party or serve it for a fun dinner! It's quick to toss together and will be an instant hit each time you serve it. 🧀

Ingredients Needed

• Cheese
• Flour
• Chicken broth
• Nutmeg
• Garlic powder

Can I Use Any Flavor Cheese?

• Yes, sorta.  It is best to use cheese that melts really well.  For example, Gruyere, Swiss, etc.  I like to use a combination of cheddar and Swiss.  But, it's totally up to you!  You will need 4 cups total.  So, mix it up anyway you wish.
• 💡 It is best to shred your own cheese, if you are able.  It is better for melting. 

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Chicken Broth: If you don't wish to use chicken broth, apple juice, beer (alcoholic or non- alcoholic) or a dry white wine are really good options too. 
• Flour: You can use cornstarch as a replacement, if desired or needed. 
• For best cheesy results, melt your cheese(s) over low heat.
• You don't need a fondue pot to make this!  Heat in a saucepan (low heat!) and keep it warm on the stove or transfer to your slow cooker.
• When reheating, add to your fondue pot or saucepan.  Again, over low heat, melt the cheese until smooth, adding a smidgen more chicken broth to thin out.
