Description
Ingredients: - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 cups whole milk - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour - 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated - 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional) - Salt and pepper, to taste - Assorted chips for dipping (such as tortilla chips, potato chips, or baguette slices) Instructions: 1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. 2. Reduce the heat to low and add the flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour, creating a roux. 3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. 4. Add the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the saucepan, a handful at a time. Stir well after each addition until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth. 5. Once all the cheese has melted and the fondue is smooth, add the lemon juice and paprika (if using). Stir well to combine. These ingredients help enhance the flavors and give a tangy touch to the fondue. 6. Season the fondue with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. 7. Transfer the cheese fondue to a fondue pot or a serving bowl. Place it over a low heat source or use a fondue burner to keep it warm while serving. 8. Serve the cheese fondue with an assortment of chips for dipping. Arrange the chips on a platter or individual serving plates alongside the fondue pot. http://www.actontv.org
