Delicious and satisfying fondue is made with bacon, Havarti and Gouda cheeses, and beer. Turkey bacon may be substituted for traditional pork bacon, if you wish.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 4 strips extra-lean bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup lager beer
  • 1 cup grated Havarti cheese
  • 1 cup grated Gouda cheese
  • Sweet and sour gherkin pickles, rye bread cubes, and pretzels for dippers

Preparation:

Melt butter in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Saute bacon and onion together until bacon is crisp and onion is golden. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. While continuing to stir, slowly add the beer and cook until sauce is smooth and thickened.

Add Havarti and Gouda cheeses to the sauce, stirring until melted. Transfer Danish fondue to a fondue pot and serve with dippers.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
