LaBelle Fondue
LaBelle original plain, fenugreek or olive cheese can be used in this recipe.*
Use 3 pads of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour add salt and pepper to taste.
Blend butter, flour, salt, and pepper in a pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until it's a creamy white mixture (do not brown).
Add 2 cups of half/half to the pan and blend with a whisk. Slowly add one pound of grated LaBelle cheese.
Continue to blend until all cheese is added. If the fondue is too thick add more half/half (it should have the thickness of a gravy).
Serves 12-18 people, make half the recipe for 6-8 people.
Serve the fondue with sliced apples, pears, grapes, French bread, or small cuts of cooked ham or beef.
* Using all the same variety cheese is recommended (do not combine the different types of cheese into the fondue)
