Cheddar Beer Fondue

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of strong beer (use a lager or ale)
  • 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Assorted dippers (such as cubed bread, apple slices, carrot sticks, and pretzel bites)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the beer over medium heat until it’s warm, but not boiling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded cheddar and Gruyère cheeses with the flour. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping together when melted.
  3. Once the beer is warmed, rub the inside of a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the halved garlic clove, discarding the clove after use.
  4. Add the warm beer to the pot and gradually begin to add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time. Stir continuously in a figure-eight motion until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Stir in the Dijon mustard and season with black pepper to taste.
  6. If using a fondue pot, keep the cheese warm over low heat. If using a regular pot, serve immediately and transfer to a fondue pot if desired for serving.
  7. Arrange your assorted dippers on a platter and enjoy dipping them into the warm, gooey cheddar beer fondue!

This Cheddar Beer Fondue is not just a meal; it’s an experience that invites enjoyment and connection. Gather your loved ones, dip in, and let the flavor explosion take you to a place of cheesy bliss!
