Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup light beer
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
4 teaspoons dry mustard
4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons Worecesteshire sauce
2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons crispy fried bacon
3 tablespoons sliced scallions

Steps:

  • If you do not have a fondue pot to prepare the fondue in, you may prepare a double boiler. To prepare a double boiler place 2 to 3 inches of water in a pot, and then place a heat-proof bowl over the pot. The bowl should make a tight seal. The heat should be turned up high enough to boil, then the temperature should be reduced to medium.
  • Place beer into the bowl with the garlic, dry mustard, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Combine the cheese and cornstarch together. When the beer warms to almost boiling add half of the cheese. Stirring the cheese constantly, until it has melted.
  • Continue to add cheese by small handfuls until all of the cheese has been melted completely. Add in 3 tablespoons of crispy cooked bacon. If you are using a double boiler remove from heat. Place the cheese in a bowl and garnish with the remaining bacon and sliced scallions. Serve with plenty of bread, baby-cut carrots, green apple, and other items of your choice.

This versatile recipe can be altered to transform your leftover cheese into a help-yourself starter - perfect served with crusty bread

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Buffet, Starter

Time 50m

Yield Serves 6-8 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 10

500g Brussels sprouts , any damaged outer leaves removed
100g pack pancetta (about 8 slices)
200g brie , rind removed, roughly chopped
100g full-fat cream cheese
100g gruyère , rind removed, grated
2 tbsp grated parmesan
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp cornflour
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
crusty bread , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sprouts on a large baking tray, drizzle with oil and season, then roll around the tray to help the seasoning stick. Tear each slice of pancetta in half and wrap each piece around a sprout - you won't have enough to wrap each one. Roast for 20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, whizz the cheese (only 1 tbsp of the Parmesan), milk and cornflour together in a food processor. Stir through the mustard, then transfer to a shallow baking dish or an ovenproof pan (ours was 15cm across and 3cm deep) and scatter with the remaining Parmesan. Reduce oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 after the sprouts have had their initial cooking time. Place the cheese dish on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 15 mins, with the sprouts on the tray below.
  • Remove the sprouts and turn on the grill. Cook the fondue under the hot grill for 2-3 mins until golden brown. Serve the fondue with skewers for dunking the sprouts and chunks of bread.
