Since dd's wedding we have a few bottles of champagne to use up. Darn the bad luck! lol This is one of the recipes I found that I can not wait to try! Ingredients:
8 ounces gruyere cheese |
4 ounces swiss cheese |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
5 ounces brie cheese |
1 cup champagne |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
apple, slices (optional) |
french bread cubes (optional) |
breadstick (optional) |
Directions:
1. Shred Gruyere and Swiss cheeses using a hand grater to keep the cheese loose. Add cornstarch and toss to coat cheese. Remove rind from brie and cut into small cubes.
2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan on medium heat bring champagne just to a simmer but do not boil. Reduce heat to low.
3. Add shredded cheeses and brie gradually stirring constantly until cheese is melted. Add almond extract and nutmeg.
4. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Do not boil.
5. Serve in a fondue pot if you have one or keep warm over a canned heat burner or even a small crock pot set to low. Try apple slices and bread cubes for dipping or any item of your choosing.
