A Cheesy Fondue Sauce for latkes? Yess please! 

Fondue Recipe (based on Bon Appetit’s recipe)

Ingredients:

  • 1 garlic clove, halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup Belgian beer
  • 3/4 cups dry white wine, divided
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 pound Gruyère, Edam or Swiss cheese coarsely grated
  • 1/2 pound Mini Ball cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoons bourbon or brandy
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt

 Directions:

Rub inside of a large saucepan with cut sides of garlic. Finely grate garlic into saucepan; add beer and 1/2 cup of wine and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup wine in a small bowl until no lumps remain, then whisk into liquid in saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce heat so mixture is at a very low simmer and very gradually add Gruyère, Swiss or Edam and Mini Ball Cheese, whisking until smooth (fully incorporate each batch of cheese before adding more).

Whisk bourbon and baking soda in a small bowl to combine, then whisk into fondue, followed by lemon juice; season with salt. Transfer to a fondue pot.
