  • Place on a grill pan and place on the grill while fondue melts.
  • Watch the bread closely, when the first side toasts up (about 2 minutes), flip and toast the other side.
  • Serve the cheese dip with grilled bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Don’t have the pot on too high of a heat or the cheese at the bottom can burn. Keep stirring so that it doesn’t catch.
  • Once the cheese has all melted, you can add in more evaporated milk or more cheese to make it your preferred consistency.
Storage: Store cheese fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
