Fondue Ingredients

Method

Fondue Directions

1

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and gruyere cheese. Mix well and set aside.

2

Cook the Base

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the white wine, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.

3

Thicken the Fondue

Once the mixture is simmering, stir in the cornstarch mixed with a little water to create a slurry. Whisk until thickened.

4

Add Cheese and Crab

Gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. Fold in the crab meat and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5

Serve

Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or a serving bowl. Serve warm with house-made Philly pretzel bites.
