German Style Beer Fondue

beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: vegetable broth

Non-alcoholic beer maintains flavor without alcohol.

cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Processed cheese melts smoothly and is often cheaper.

Grate the cheese and set aside.

In a pot, combine beer and minced garlic over medium heat until simmering.

Gradually add the grated cheese while stirring continuously until melted and smooth.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a bit of beer to create a slurry.

Add the cornstarch mixture to the cheese mixture to thicken it.

Stir in mustard, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper for flavor.

Keep the mixture warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Prepare dippables like bread cubes and vegetables on a platter.

Serve the fondue in a warmed pot with skewers for dipping.

Garnish with chopped chives and paprika before serving.
