The Melting Pot Garlic Herb Cheddar Fondue

Step 1

Toss the cheese with the flour in a bowl.

Step 2

Place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of water (or use a double boiler).

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the beer in the bowl.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic using a fork.

Step 6

Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Step 7

Add half the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Add the remaining cheese a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Fold in the Green Goddess Sauce, Garlic and Wine Seasoning, and pepper.

Step 10

Pour into a warm fondue pot and keep warm over low heat.

Step 11

NOTE: The cheese is shredded and tossed with flour to aid in thickening and to improve the viscosity of the fondue. The fondue should be the consistency of warm honey when completed. Monitor the cheese carefully as it is being added. Not all the cheese may be needed, and, in some cases, more cheese may be needed to reach the perfect consistency.
