Fondue Bites Recipes

FONDUE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out bread slices as thinly as possible with a rolling pin. Trim crusts; cut each slice into 4 even squares. Press into bottom and up sides of mini muffin cups. Bake until dry and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes (white bread will take slightly longer than pumpernickel). Let cool completely. Toasted bread cups can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Stir together mayonnaise, Dijon, and brandy. Add cheeses and gently stir to combine. Season with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer bread cups to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide cheese mixture evenly among bread cups (about 1 rounded teaspoon each).
• Bake until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with cornichons;serve immediately.

FOUR CHEESE FONDUE WITH ASSORTED DIPPERS

Steps:

• Add the cheeses and cornstarch to a medium-size bowl. Using clean hands, toss the cheese with cornstarch to combine.
• Add the wine, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder and a pinch of nutmeg to a fondue pot or a heavy bottom ceramic saucepan. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually add the cheeses in cup-size increments, being sure to let the cheese completely melt before adding more. Avoid over-stirring, as it could make the fondue stringy. Add salt to taste.
• Keep warm in a fondue pot and serve immediately. Use fondue forks or wooden skewers to dip dippers into fondue.

HOW TO FONDUE WITH OIL

Steps:

• Place your electric fondue pot on the dinner table where it will be served. Add oil to our fondue pot, being sure not to fill it pass the max fill line. Secure the electric cord so no one trips over it!
• Plug the pot in and turn the pot to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, add the raw meats and frozen items to individual bowls.
• When the oil is hot, begin cooking food in the pot. Allow each guest (up to 5) to add one raw item to their colored fondue fork directly from the serving bowl and set in the pot. (Do not have guests transfer raw meat to their dinner plates.)
• Each dinner guest can keep an eye on their own food as it cooks, paying attention to what color fondue forks they have. Don't allow too many foods in the oil at one time or it will bring the temperature of the oil down too low. When their food is done, carefully place it on their dinner plate and enjoy with dips or sauces.

• To assemble, place 1 to 2 mini marshmallows on a toothpick. Dip into chocolate fondue, then place on a mini graham cracker (pressing firmly will poke the toothpick through the graham cracker, so it becomes a one bite treat.)
