Let your guests fawn over some melted cheese-covered chunks of sourdough bread, and you’ll be asked to make this fondue recipe time and time again. The Endless Meal created this caramelized shallot and gruyere cheese fondue to dip spicy sausage, mushrooms, steamed broccoli or cauliflower, prawns, roasted potatoes or sliced apples. It even includes tips on how to get a creamy — rather than lumpy — fondue every time.
