Brie Cheese Fondue
adapted from "Matty's Brie Cheese Fondue" at allrecipes.com
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 250g of Brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg (i left this out)
- 2 tablespoons spring onions, chopped
- salt and white pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Rub the garlic all over a cooking pot and your fondue pot, leaving the crushed pieces in the bottom.
- Add the white wine to the pot and heat over medium-low heat.
- Toss the cheese cubes in cornstarch to coat.
- When the wine is hot, add the cheese.
- Stir slowly with a wooden spoon at first and then use a whisk.
- Stir constantly to keep it from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
- When the cheese has melted, add the spring onions and remove it from the heat,
- Grate in a little nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- The fondue should be smooth and coat a wooden spoon.
- If it seems to runny, add more cheese.
If it is too thick, add a splash more wine --sparingly. - Pour the cheese into your fondue pot and keep fondue warm over low heat.
- Serve with: french bread, potatoes, broccoli, sausages... or anything you like.
The wine tasted pretty strong in our fondue... i thought it made it a little...alcoholic-y bitter. I don't know, maybe it's just me cuz JLo turned out to actually LIKE it. I was surprised.... hahahahaha. But I think I'd try replacing the wine w/ something else next time just cuz I'm not a alcoholic-y/wine person. So now i have like a full bottle of white wine left... need to think of something to make and use it up. anyways, picture time!
Things you'll need:
Cheapest white wine i could find. Brie cheese. Fondue set.
