Swiss cheese fondue is such a delicious way to eat your dairy, and it is so easy to prepare that you’ll wonder why you haven’t made it at home sooner!
Truly, what is better than hearty bread dipped into melty cheese?
Enjoy a variety of bread — a dense whole grain loaf, soft white Italian bread, or something with a crisp crust. I hope you’ll try this recipe with tart, crisp apples as well!
Fondue is more of a method than a recipe. Once you feel comfortable, you can swap out ingredients and add shallots, spinach, or whatever is in your pantry. Generally, the amount of liquid required for a cheese fondue recipe will be equal to half the amount of cheese.
