This amazing, easy-to-make fondue recipe is loaded with California garlic and Real California cheddar – what could be better?
I’ve got a fun and easy idea for dinner your whole family will enjoy! Typically when people think fondue, they think chocolate, so I decided to surprise the family with cheese fondue and boy was it a hit!
This recipe is a fun way to get everyone gathered around the table and enjoying a tasty dish, dipping and eating bite-sized goodies.
The dippers you use is totally up to you, but I love steak bites and broccoli the most. We also used mushrooms and of course bread. Who doesn’t like bread with melted gooey cheese? You can also use cherry tomatoes, apples, or even cauliflower!
Let’s make this Garlic Cheddar Fondue recipe step-by-step!
a good fondue recipe starts with Real CA Cheese!
I started by grating a pound of cheese using sharp cheddar from Vons. Did you know you can easily find where California Cheese is sold? Amazing isn’t it? I always strive to buy California products whenever and however possible, so I thought that clever product locator by the Real California Milk was amazing!
Now, add in 2 tablespoons of flour to the bowl…
..and toss to coat the cheese. This will help the cheese to melt smoothly while heating and add a bit of thickness to the fondue.
Put in the butter and melt over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and stir for about 15 seconds, then whisk in the remaining flour to start a roux.
Pour in the milk and stir until thick and bubbly.
Gradually add in handfuls of the shredded cheese and stir to melt before adding the next handful. Stir until nice and smooth.
Keep warm by adding the fondue to a warmed fondue pot over a flame, or an electric fondue pot is even easier!
Dip, dip, dip away!
