This thick fondue originated in my kitchen when I didn't have all of the ingredients I needed to make the recipe I initially planned to prepare. Served with bread cubes, it has since become a staple, particularly while we watch football games on television. -Chrystie Wear, Greensboro, North Carolina Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) french bread, cubed |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer |
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 to 4 tablespoons half-and-half cream |
Directions:
1. Place bread cubes in a single layer in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 5-7 minutes or until lightly crisp, stirring twice.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Toss cheese and flour; stir into saucepan until melted. Stir in 2 tablespoons cream.
3. Transfer to a small fondue pot or 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Keep warm; add additional cream if fondue thickens. Serve with toasted bread cubes. Yield: about 3 cups.
