Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup light beer (lager or pilsner)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in the Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheeses one handful at a time, stirring until each addition is fully melted and smooth before adding more. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
  6. Once all cheese is melted, slowly stir in the beer until just combined.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Shred your own cheese; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can make the fondue gritty.
  • Keep the heat low when melting the cheese to prevent separation.
  • Use a beer you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will come through in the dip.
  • For dipping, try pretzels, crusty bread cubes, apple slices, or raw vegetables.
