FONDUE CHEDDAR CHEESE

FONDUE CHEDDAR CHEESE

A creamy, velvety cheddar cheese fondue made with simple ingredients and perfect for a cozy appetizer, party dip, or fun family fondue night. Cheddar adds sharp flavor, while a touch of acid helps keep the cheese smooth and melty.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• 1 cup mild cheddar, shredded (balances sharpness)

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)

• ½ cup dry white wine or extra milk

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1–2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder

• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheese

Shred the cheddar cheeses and toss them with the cornstarch.
This helps prevent clumping and keeps the fondue silky.

2. Warm the Liquid Base

In a medium saucepan or fondue pot over medium heat, warm the milk, white wine, and butter until steaming (not boiling).

3. Add Flavor

Stir in:

• Dijon mustard

• Worcestershire sauce

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Cayenne (optional)

Let the mixture heat for 1–2 minutes.

4. Melt the Cheese Slowly

Reduce the heat to low.
Add the cheese a handful at a time, whisking constantly until melted and smooth before adding more.
Take your time — slow melting = smooth fondue.

5. Adjust & Serve

Taste and add salt or pepper as needed.
If too thick, whisk in a splash of milk.
If too thin, add a little more cheese.

Serve immediately in a warm fondue pot, over a candle or low flame.

Tips for Perfect Cheddar Fondue

• Keep heat low once cheese is added to prevent graininess.

• A splash of wine or lemon juice helps keep cheese smooth by adding acidity.

• Stir constantly while melting.
