Fondue Recipes
Fondue is a classic Swiss dish that's made for sharing with friends and family around the table. It’s usually made by melting cheese with milk, cream, and spices in a special pot that stays warm over a small burner. You dip pieces of bread, veggies, or meat into the melted mixture using long forks or skewers. Common cheeses used in fondue include sharp ones like cheddar and strong-flavored ones like Swiss. Some recipes also add wine, brandy, or sherry to help balance the flavors and make the fondue smooth and rich.

Fun Fondue Facts:
Cheese fondue was first created out of necessity. In small mountain villages in the Swiss Alps, people had to cook with the ingredients they had on hand—mostly local cheese and bread.
There are over 100 types of cheese fondue, each with its own name, cheese blend, wine, and seasoning.
