SUPER EASY WHITE WINE FONDUE! Made with swiss, gouda, and of course white wine. I can’t possibly have enough cheese in my life!
Cheese has always been a love in my life. Long before I learned to cook, cheese was still a favorite. Cheesy pastas, cheese smothered recipes, and if you want to be healthy, cheese on salads :) (right?). For me, it doesn’t get better than cheese DIPS as appetizers. There’s just nothing better than a melty bowl of cheese ready for dipping. This SUPER EASY WHITE WINE FONDUE is made in minutes and checks all the boxes for a simple and delicious appetizer. It’s perfect for gameday, the holidays (NEW YEARS EVE!), or just an everyday appetizer dinner at home.
The hardest part when making this Easy White Wine Fondue is deciding what to use as dippers. There are so many delicious options. I chose to make super simple marbled rye crostini, but you could use apples, veggies, or even chips. Apples…mmmmmm.
So there you have it. Wine and cheese are a match made in heaven, and this SUPER EASY WHITE WINE FONDUE proves it beyond a reasonable doubt!

Fondue was THE dining treat a few years ago, fondue parties were the rage!! Down town Pensacola was home to the Melting Pot restaurant which was strictly fondue. Our good friends went with and we had so much fun!! It was a dining experience, our server explained each step of melting the cheese and the “secrets” that made it so wonderful. A pinch of cayenne creeps in the white cheese or, a grate or two of fresh nutmeg.( and white wine) fresh sliced ‘rooms, bread cubes,apples and parboiled cubed small potatoes were perfect. Dessert was pure heaven!! A blend of milk, semi-sweet and a bit of bittersweet chocolate with just the perfect amount of Grand Marnier!! Fresh orange slices, Angel food cake and chunks of bananas. I wanted to drink the chocolate!! You should have a New Year’s fondue party to re-introduce fondue to the blog world!!
I LOVE these tips! That is awesome. The Melting Pot is one of my favorite restaurants and I don’t go enough. Thanks SO much for stopping by and for the fun comment!
