METHOD
Fondue
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. In large bowl, gently toss Brie, Swiss and blue cheese with flour.
Add wine to saucepan; bring to boil, scraping any browned bits. Reduce heat; add cheese mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth (if fondue is too thick, stir in a bit more wine). Stir in thyme and pepper. Transfer mixture to fondue pot and set burner to medium heat. Read More…
