Tomato Basil And Gouda Cheese Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• Combine wine and lemon juice in a small pot over medium heat. Toss together both cheeses and cornstarch in a large bowl. When the wine comes to a boil, slowly add the cheese and cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously until smooth. Season with nutmeg and cayenne. Transfer to a small slow cooker set to low and serve with the selection of dippers. Fondue should hold on low setting for up to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Remove wax coating; carefully scoop out center of cheese leaving a 1/4" shell. Coarsely chop scooped-out cheese into small pieces and put in microwave safe bowl. Mix in tomatoes & basil.
• Cook cheese-tomato-basil mixture uncovered in microwave at 50% for 1 minute Stir and cook at 50% stirring every 20 seconds until cheese bubbles, 1-1/2 to 2 minute longer.
• Set shell on plate, surround with baguette slices. Pour hot cheese into shell.
• Cooking Tips:.
• Chili/Onion Version: tomatoes, 1 T. chopped green chilies, 1 chopped green onion, 1/4 tsp chili or cumin or both.

Steps:

• Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cheeses with cornstarch. Add a handful at a time to simmering wine, stirring until first handful melts before adding next. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Add kirsch, if using, and heat until bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and other accompaniments. (See variations below)

Steps:

• Simmer the tomato juice, lemon and soup mix for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, melting between each handful.
• When it is all melted you are done.
• We always use bread but you could use veggies or meat.
• It can be a bit salty so I think that is why bread works best.
• Also if you use a brand name onion soup mix I think its less likely to be too salty.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If necessary, slice a very thin layer off bottoms of tomatoes so they will stand upright. Core tomatoes, and carve them out, stopping about about 3/4 inch from bottom and sides. (Do not remove too much, or tomato will collapse when baked.) Season inside of each tomato with salt. In a small bowl, stir together mascarpone and goat cheese.
• To prepare topping, melt butter with oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovies, and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in bread crumbs, and sauté 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
• Fill each hollow with mascarpone mixture. Top generously with bread crumbs. Transfer tomatoes to a baking sheet, and bake until they are slightly blistered and the tops are golden, about 10 minutes.
