Beer Cheese Fondue
This unusual Beer Cheese Fondue blends sharp cheddar and beer for a tasty treat. Perfect for a fun meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 cup beer (see note for keto sub) Reserve remainder for thinning fondue while serving.
- 8 ounces Gouda shredded
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar shredded
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 baguette cut into 1-inch cubes, ideally with a piece of crust on each
- Bite-sized vegetable and salami pieces for dipping optional
Instructions
- Cut up dippers as needed.
- Rub the bottom of a medium saucepan with sliced garlic. Add the beer, then heat until steam begins to rise from the beer.
- In a small bowl, toss together the two cheeses and the cornstarch. Reduce heat to medium low, then add cheese by handfuls to the beer. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth. Season with black pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot and serve immediately, accompanied by the bread, and optionally vegetables/sausage for dipping. If mixture begins to thicken too much add some of the reserved beer and stir to incorporate.
