This fondue is a nice change from the classic swiss or gruyere cheese recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Havarti cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Colby cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Preparation:

In large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour; cook and stir until bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and cream and cook over medium heat until thickened. Add cheeses, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until melted and blended. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened. You may need to add more cheeses to reach the desired consistency. Stir in lemon juice until smooth. Pour into heated fondue pot set over a candle or sterno. Serve with breadsticks and fresh vegetables for dipping.

Good!, Guest cook from NJ

Just had this for New Years day dinner with some sliced ham and boiled new potatoes. Very kid friendly...nice and cheesey! Big hit...we'll make it again next year.
