SUPER EASY WHITE WINE FONDUE! Made with swiss, gouda, and of course white wine. I can’t possibly have enough cheese in my life!
Cheese has always been a love in my life. Long before I learned to cook, cheese was still a favorite. Cheesy pastas, cheese smothered recipes, and if you want to be healthy, cheese on salads 🙂 (right?). For me, it doesn’t get better than cheese DIPS as appetizers. There’s just nothing better than a melty bowl of cheese ready for dipping. This SUPER EASY WHITE WINE FONDUE is made in minutes and checks all the boxes for a simple and delicious appetizer. It’s perfect for gameday, the holidays (NEW YEARS EVE!), or just an everyday appetizer dinner at home.
The hardest part when making this Easy White Wine Fondue is deciding what to use as dippers. There are so many delicious options. I chose to make super simple marbled rye crostini, but you could use apples, veggies, or even chips. Apples…mmmmmm.
“Cheese and a flavorful broth make a perfect match, and this SUPER EASY FONDUE proves it beyond a reasonable doubt!
Enjoy!
Easy White Wine Fondue (Non-Alcoholic)
Ingredients
- 12 ounces shredded or cubed gouda cheese
- 4 ounces shredded or cubed swiss cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup unsweetened white grape juice or ¾ cup vegetable broth + ¼ cup white grape juice for more depth of flavor
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cooking Sherry optional, can be omitted if desired
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the white grape juice (or broth mixture) and stir to combine.
- Add in the cornstarch, both cheeses, salt, pepper, and cooking Sherry (if using). Use a whisk to stir and fully combine as the cheese melts. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Stir in the basil. If the fondue is too thick, add a bit more white grape juice. If too thin, add a bit more cheese.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Use crostini, bread cubes, apples, veggies, or chips as dippers.
- Enjoy! 😊
