We have are having guests over next weekend and will be making a cheese fondue....the recipe states to serve with bread cubes...we are also going to do apple or pear slices. Can anyone think of anything else you would use for dipping?

If it's cheese you can blanche some veggies...i.e. broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus. Are you doing a chocolate one too?

Three-Cheese Fondue with Champagne

Bon Appétit | February 2001

4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cups dry (brut) Champagne
1 large shallot, chopped
2 cups coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (about 7 ounces)
1 1/3 cups coarsely grated Emmenthal cheese (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup diced rindless Brie or Camembert cheese (about 3 ounces)
Generous pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground white pepper



Stir cornstarch and lemon juice in small bowl until cornstarch dissolves; set aside. Combine Champagne and shallot in fondue pot or heavy medium saucepan; simmer over medium heat 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Add all cheeses and stir to combine. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Return fondue pot to medium heat and stir until cheeses are melted and smooth and fondue thickens and boils, about 12 minutes. Season fondue with nutmeg and white pepper. Place over candle or canned heat burner to keep warm.
We put this into a small crock pot to keep it warm!!
