Hot Crab Fondue Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This recipe for hot crab fondue is lightly spiced and flavored with garlic, shallots, wine, cream cheese, cheddar, dill, and worcestershire sauce. Serve hot with breadsticks, french bread cubes, and/or cocktail crackers. This fondue is filling enough to make a meal. Many epicures believe that seafood and cheese don't mix because the delicate flavors of seafood are overwhelmed by the aggressive flavors of strong cheeses. But a happy coexistence can be achieved by pairing shellfish with milder cheeses like the cream cheese and mild cheddar in this recipe. This would be considered a cheese fondue or fondue au fromage. The other two types of classic fondues are fondue bourguignonne (beef fondue) and chocolate fondue, although there are hundreds of variations on these three, as this recipe demonstrates. Do you know the right fondue pot to use for cheese fondue? Check out the information after the directions for this recipe, below.
