History of cheese fondue
Cheese fondue, a dish synonymous with Switzerland and alpine coziness, boasts a rich history dating back centuries.
A Humble Beginning

While the exact origin remains shrouded in mystery, some believe the concept of cheese fondue can be traced back as far as 800 BC! Literature from the Homeric era mentions a dish combining goat or sheep’s milk cheese with wine and flour, strikingly similar to modern fondue.
The most widely accepted story places fondue’s birthplace in the Swiss Alps during the 18th century. It emerged as a resourceful way for mountain communities to utilize leftover aged cheeses, bread, and wine during harsh winters. By combining these simple ingredients over an open flame, they created a celebratory and warming communal meal.

Fondue remained a regional favorite for centuries until the 20th century. The Swiss Cheese Union, recognizing its cultural significance, actively promoted fondue as a national dish in the 1930s.
While the classic recipe features Gruyère and Emmental cheese melted in white wine, regional variations abound. Some incorporate other cheeses, vegetables, or even meats. Fondue pots and forks specifically designed for the dish became commonplace, further solidifying its iconic status.
Today, cheese fondue remains a beloved symbol of Swiss culture and a delightful way to enjoy melted cheese. It’s a social experience perfect for gatherings, where dipping bread, vegetables, and sometimes even meats into the communal pot fosters conversation and connection. Cheese fondue with bread is enjoyed worldwide. It’s a delightful way to gather with friends and family for a cozy and interactive meal.


What inside of Cheese Fondue with Bread

- 5 slices of Bread; Actually, the bread just a condiment because we’re gonna dip the cheese fondue with bread. You can use other such as crackers.

A simple French baguette slathered with butter or olive oil and garlic salt is the perfect accompaniment for this simple fondue!
- Egg: While not a traditional ingredient in cheese fondue, adding a beaten egg can contribute to the richness and creaminess of the fondue sauce. It helps bind the ingredients together
- Onion, sliced: Sautéed onions bring a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the fondue. As they cook down, they release their natural sugars, adding complexity to the sauce without overwhelming the delicate cheese flavors.
- Milk: Milk serves as the liquid base for the fondue, providing a creamy texture and helping to achieve the desired consistency. It also helps to mellow out the richness of the cheeses, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.

- Mozzarella cheese: making it an excellent choice for cheese fondue. It adds a creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the other cheeses.
- Cornstarch: Thickens the fondue to a dippable consistency. It prevents the cheese sauce from becoming too thin or watery.
- Chicken broth: Chicken broth adds savory depth to the fondue, enhancing the overall flavor profile with its rich umami notes. It also provides additional liquid to help achieve the desired consistency of the sauce.
- Pinch of salt and Pinch of black pepper

How to Make Cheese Fondue with Bread

First, gather all your ingredients – egg, sliced onion, milk, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cornstarch, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Having everything ready will streamline the cooking process.
In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté the sliced onions until they are soft and translucent. This will release their sweet flavors and provide a delicious base for the fondue.
Mix the Cheeses: In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. This blend will offer a balance of sharpness and creaminess to the fondue.

Create the Sauce: In the saucepan with the sautéed onions, add milk and chicken broth. Stir in the cheese mixture gradually, allowing it to melt and form a smooth sauce.
Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add this to the cheese mixture and stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until the fondue thickens to your desired consistency.
Season to Taste: Season the fondue with a pinch of salt and black pepper, adjusting the flavors according to your preference. Remember, a little seasoning goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed.
Finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top of the fondue for a burst of color and a hint of freshness.
Almost done!

While your fondue is simmering, slice your bread into bite-sized cubes or chunks. Choose a variety of breads for added texture and flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the warm cheese fondue to a fondue pot or a heatproof dish, and place it on the table alongside the bread cubes. Invite your guests to dip the bread into the fondue and savor the creamy, indulgent flavors.
Enjoy the cozy ambiance and delicious flavors of this classic dish!
Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.
