Expert Tips

Although French bread is delicious with the fondue, you could use another hearty white bread instead. Sourdough, Vienna and Italian bread would all work in this recipe.

In French, the word fondue means "melted." Popular in the 1970s, fondue is making a comeback, particularly for relaxed entertaining.

I first found this recipe years ago in one of the monthly recipe books purchased at the supermarket. I've served this countless times with cubed/toasted sourdough and it is ALWAYS the hit of the party! Super quick, easy, and delicious.
