Cheese And Tomato Fondue Recipes

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Simmer wine in fondue pot. Add Swiss cheese, Gruyere cheese, 1/4 pound at a time. Stir after each addition of cheese until melted. Stir in flour. When all the cheese has melted, stir in salt and nutmeg. Serve with cut-up French bread.

TOMATO AND CHEESE SWISS FONDUE

Steps:

• In a saucepan (if using a fondue pot) or the top of double boiler, heat 1 3/4 cups tomato juice with garlic until very hot.
• Place over boiling water (either in the bottom of the double boiler or in your fondue pot).
• Add cheese, a small amount at a time stirring constantly until cheese is melted.
• Combine cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings with 1/4 cup tomato juice; stir into cheese mixture.
• Continue stirring until smooth; if the fondue becomes too thick, add more tomato juice.
• For Vegetarian omit ham or any meat tortellini for serving.

TOMATO CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Simmer the tomato juice, lemon and soup mix for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, melting between each handful.
• When it is all melted you are done.
• We always use bread but you could use veggies or meat.
• It can be a bit salty so I think that is why bread works best.
• Also if you use a brand name onion soup mix I think its less likely to be too salty.

CHEDDAR TOMATO FONDUE

Steps:

• Cook tomatoes and garlic in butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir together wine and cornstarch in a small bowl, then stir into tomatoes and simmer gently, stirring, 1 minute. Discard garlic. Add Cheddar by handfuls, stirring until completely melted. Serve in a fondue pot set over a flame.

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
• Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.

BAKED STUFFED TOMATOES WITH GOAT CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If necessary, slice a very thin layer off bottoms of tomatoes so they will stand upright. Core tomatoes, and carve them out, stopping about about 3/4 inch from bottom and sides. (Do not remove too much, or tomato will collapse when baked.) Season inside of each tomato with salt. In a small bowl, stir together mascarpone and goat cheese.
• To prepare topping, melt butter with oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovies, and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in bread crumbs, and sauté 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
• Fill each hollow with mascarpone mixture. Top generously with bread crumbs. Transfer tomatoes to a baking sheet, and bake until they are slightly blistered and the tops are golden, about 10 minutes.
