How to Make Cheese Fondue

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup Hefeweizen beer
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 2-3 cloves minced or smashed fresh garlic
• 1-2  teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 pound block sharp cheddar cheese, grated (or more, if desired)
• Dash of sea salt
• Dash of coarse ground pepper

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or electric fondue pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle in flour and stir & cook for a couple of minutes (don’t skip this step or your fondue will taste yucky – like raw flour). Add liquids while continuing to stir. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, cayenne, Beau Monde, and lemon juice. Slowly add the cheese and stir slowly until the cheese is completely melted. Place in a fondue pot or keep in an electric fondue pot. If heated too high, the sauce can separate, so be sure to keep it over low heat – around 165-170°F should work nicely.

Block cheese that you grate yourself is best because it’s not coated in cornstarch & will melt much better than pre-grated cheese.
