Spend a cozy evening with loved ones over a pot of cheese fondue. This rich sauce of sharp cheddar, Gruyere, and white wine is infused with spicy notes of garlic, mustard, and nutmeg. If you don't have a special fondue pot, you can use a slow cooker, which will also keep the sauce warm for a long time. Traditionally, bread is a go-to appetizer for cheese fondue, but there are many other unexpected options that would be delicious with the cheese sauce. How about dipping dried figs, popcorn, or pineapple into the fondue? Below is a complete list of appetizers you probably wouldn't have thought of.
