Preparation

What You Need

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) Milk
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (5 ml) dry mustard or
Dijon mustard
2 cups (500 ml) shredded Canadian old Cheddar cheese , (about 8 oz/250 g)
4 cups (1 l) raw vegetable pieces (celery sticks, baby carrots, cauliflower florets, sweet pepper strips, broccoli florets, green beans, etc.)
2 cups (500 ml) strips cooked chicken breast and/or large cooked shrimp
4 slices whole grain bread, toasted and cut into cubes.

Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together Milk, garlic, flour and mustard. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for about 7 min or until starting to simmer and thicken. Reduce heat to low.

Add one small handful of cheese at a time to the pan, whisking constantly, adding the next handful when cheese is melted. After the last addition of cheese, cook, still whisking, for 3 to 5 min or until slightly thickened and silky smooth.

Place saucepan on a heat-proof trivet on the table or, if desired, transfer to a ceramic fondue pot over a flame to keep warm. Serve with vegetables, chicken and toast cubes for dipping, using fondue forks, if desired.
