Chipotle Cheese Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons each butter and flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a saucepan; whisk over medium heat until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk; cook, whisking, until thick, about 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup grated Colby cheese, 1/4 cup chopped canned green chiles (drained), 1 diced plum tomato and 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce; stir until creamy.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chipotle and cook, stirring, until slightly dried out, about 1 minute.
• Add the cheeses and milk and heat at a bare simmer, stirring, until melted. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Steps:

• To make the fondue:
• In a bowl toss together cheeses and cornstarch.
• Rub inside of a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan with garlic halves, leaving garlic in pan, and add wine and lemon juice. Bring liquid just to a boil and stir in cheese mixture by handfuls. Bring mixture to a bare simmer over moderate heat, stirring, and stir in kirsch, nutmeg, chilies, and pepper to taste. Transfer fondue to a fondue pot and set over a low flame.
• Stir in fried shallots, scallions, and/or bacon if using and serve fondue with accompaniments for dipping. (Stir fondue often to keep combined.)
• To make the fried shallots:
• In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet cook shallots in oil moderately high heat, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer shallots with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Makes about 2/3 cup.

Steps:

• Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cheeses with cornstarch. Add a handful at a time to simmering wine, stirring until first handful melts before adding next. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Add kirsch, if using, and heat until bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and other accompaniments. (See variations below)
