Fondue

I wanted to create a post for some of our favorite fondue recipes so they would be easy to find all in one place. Enjoy!

* I have a note for our fondue pot that level 4 or more tends to be too hot for a holding temperature for the fondue, so to turn the pot lower once everything is cooked and ready to go.

Wisconsin 3-Cheese

Ingredients:

• 6 oz. shredded Butterkase
• 6 oz shredded Fontina

1. In a bowl, toss your shredded cheese with the flour.
2. Pour wine and sherry into your preheated fondue pot, along with your shallots and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
3. Add half of your floured cheese to the pot, stirring constantly until melted.
4. Add remaining cheese and stir constantly until also melted.
