Simple Cheddar + Beer Fondue

Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 + 1/2 cups grated high quality cheddar cheese
  • 2 + 1/2 tsp flour
  • 1/2 cup beer, pale in color
  • 2 large cloves garlic grated, pressed, or finely minced (about 1 tsp)
  • 5 cracks ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • n a medium bowl, combine grated cheese and flour.
  • Bring water to a heavy boil over medium high heat in a double boiler, then add the beer to the bowl of the double boiler.
  • When the beer mixture has reached 165-170F, stir in the garlic, pepper, mustard, and worcestershire sauce, and reduce the heat to low.
  • Add a small handful of shredded of cheese and stir with a wooden spoon in a zig zag or figure eight motion (this is to prevent any cheese clumping.) When the cheese begins to melt, add more cheese one handful at a time, stirring as you go, until all of the cheese has been incorporated. Stir until smooth, adding a bit of beef or chicken stock if too thick.
  • Transfer to a fondue pot and serve with french bread and green apples.
