The holidays are a great time to reconnect with friends and family, but preparing a holiday party can be another story. It’s so easy to get stuck in the kitchen fixing a dish when your guests are arriving. We all want to make that great first impression, but the clock keeps ticking. Enter this amazing Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl… it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser that’s festive and easy to make!
Its amazing presentation becomes an instant conversation piece, and the incredible melty cheese aroma wafting out of your kitchen is out of this world. And we’re talking five minutes of prep with four ingredients before it goes into the oven. With any luck you’ll actually be able to relax and enjoy yourself at the party. Holiday party problem solved!
For this recipe, selecting the right cheese is important. We prefer a mild cheese with enough character to produce an irresistible nutty aroma in the oven.
The recipe comfortably serves 12 people! Look for a round or oval bread loaf about 12 inches in size. A wooden cheese board or oval platter is ideal for serving, although we’ve used a large cutting board successfully too. Be sure to watch our video tutorial below to see how to make it!
Happy holidays!
