Taleggio Cheese Fondue Recipe
This fondue recipe is a delicious substitute for traditional Fontina cheese fondue, using Taleggio cheese as the base. It's perfect for a cozy night in or as an appetizer at a dinner party.
Equipment
- 1 Fondue pot or small saucepan
- 1 Heat source (stove or fondue burner)
Ingredients
- 8 oz Taleggio cheese rind removed and diced into small cubes
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon truffle oil for added flavor and aroma
Instructions
- In a fondue pot or small saucepan, heat the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the diced Taleggio cheese and stir until melted, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch or flour with the lemon juice to create a slurry.
- Slowly pour in the white wine and continue stirring until well combined with the melted cheese.
- Gradually add in the cornstarch or flour slurry, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
- If using truffle oil, add it in at this point and stir until well incorporated.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the fondue reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot if not already using one, and serve with your choice of dippers such as bread cubes, vegetables, or cured meats.
Notes
- For a more robust flavor, you can also add in some shredded Gruyere cheese along with the Taleggio.
- If the fondue becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding in a splash of white wine or chicken broth
