Oven-Baked Cheese Fondue with Bacon and Vermouth
Oven-Baked Cheese Fondue with Bacon and Vermouth
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) dry white vermouth or dry white wine
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 9 oz (255 g) soft washed rind cheese, rind removed, cubed (see note)
- 2 slices bacon, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 baguette, cubed
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a glass measuring cup, heat the vermouth and garlic in the microwave oven until very hot, about 30 to 45 seconds. Let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the garlic.
- Place the cheese in a 6-inch (15 cm), 2-cup (500 ml) ramekin and cover with the vermouth. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Stir gently.
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until golden. Add the green onions and cook for a few more seconds, stirring, until just softened. Drain on paper towel.
- Place the bacon and green onions over the cheese fondue. Serve with baguette cubes and a green salad, if desired.
