Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1.25 cups bleu cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 cups bread cubes, fresh or toasted
• 2 cups assorted vegetables (e.g., carrot sticks, broccoli florets, celery sticks)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling.

Step 2

Add the flour to the pan and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux. Make sure the mixture doesn't brown.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and then add the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the crumbled bleu cheese to the pan. Stir gently until the cheese has melted completely and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Season the fondue with garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or a heat-safe bowl and keep warm over a low heat source, such as a tea light or fondue warmer.

Step 7

Serve immediately with bread cubes, vegetables, or your preferred dipping items.
