Now this fondue is not really a crock pot recipe however it is fun to serve it in the crock pot. And the crockpot does a fantastic job of keeping it warm. So it you don’t have a crock pot (you should get one, but that is another story), you can still make this and serve it in a fondue pot or any other pot. Fondue is a Swiss dish having thought to date back to the 18th century. It is believed to have come about during long Switzerland winters when all that remained were some dry bread, cheese and wine. And we are thankful for their thriftiness and culinary skills. Traditionally at least two cheeses were melted in a dry white wine. The wine helps to keep the direct heat away from the cheese. And of course imparts an extra flavor. This fondue is a little different in that it has no wine but chicken broth instead along with a few other surprises. Brie and Onion Fondue *Brie – use a good quality cheese. And for a different flavor try one of the new flavored bries like black pepper or herb. Happy Dipping and Enjoy
