Happy National Fondue Day! (April 11th) To celebrate, try this recipe. It is so very, very, very addictive.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Large Sweet Onion
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- ½ cups Milk
- ½ cups Sour Cream
- ¼ cups White Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon Honey Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Ground White Pepper
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1-½ cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- 1 loaf Sourdough Or French Bread
Preparation
Peel onion and finely dice it. In a saute pan melt the butter over medium heat and add onions, cooking until onions begin to caramelize. Then remove from heat and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat whisk together milk, sour cream, vinegar, cornstarch, honey mustard, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Turn heat to high and whisk until it boils, then add cheeses and onions. Reduce heat to medium, stir until all the cheese is melted and thoroughly mixed. Remove from heat.
Cut bread into 1 inch cubes and place in a bowl or platter for serving. Transfer cheese sauce into a slow cooker or caquelon to keep warm. Serve with bread, using the bread to dip into the sauce.
Note: You can mix in your favorite ingredients to really put this dip over the top. We like lump crab and lobster meat but you could try Italian sausage, diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, chopped bacon, or anything else that floats your boat.
