Hello,

Most of French cheese are not for bake, except the gruyere (for fondue), and raclette (for raclette).
I used ricotta {italian cheese) to do dip. I had some quacamole spicy to it and lemon.

If you want the recipe of fondue, no problem.

The easier recipe for a fondue/dip is to buy a soft cheese with a rind which comes in a box. Remove any wrappings, put the cheese in the box in the oven at 200C for 15 minutes. Then cut the top of the cheese in a cross and peel back the rind (don't remove the rind and leave the cheese in the box to serve). Drop some freshly chopped herbs in the cheese and serve.

The original recipe is:
1/3 emental cheese + 1/3 beaufort cheese + 1/3 comte cheese.

Cut all of them in small cube.
Put all in the saucepan + white wine (small quantity at the beginning).
Make it melt slowly, very slowly on gaz.
Always blend it slowly.
If it is too thick add wine.
At the end add some pepper.

To it the fondur, put your saucepan on candles (it will be always hot) and plunge stale bread.


All of these cheese are available in city super: very expensive.
