Friday Night Cheese Fondue |
Nothing says TGIF like a relaxing evening complete with Friday night fondue. This recipe is quick, easy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) dry mustard or Dijon mustard
- 2 cups (500 mL) shredded Canadian old Cheddar cheese (about 8 oz/250 g)
- 4 cups (1 L) raw vegetable pieces (celery sticks, baby carrots, cauliflower florets, sweet pepper strips, broccoli florets, green beans, etc.)
- 2 cups (500 mL) strips cooked chicken breast and/or large cooked shrimp
- 4 slices whole grain bread, toasted and cut into cubes.
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, whisk together milk, garlic, flour and mustard. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for about 7 min or until starting to simmer and thicken. Reduce heat to low.
2. Add one small handful of cheese at a time to the pan, whisking constantly, adding the next handful when cheese is melted. After the last addition of cheese, cook, still whisking, for 3 to 5 min or until slightly thickened and silky smooth.
3. Place saucepan on a heat-proof trivet on the table or, if desired, transfer to a ceramic fondue pot over a flame to keep warm. Serve with vegetables, chicken and toast cubes for dipping, using fondue forks, if desired.
