Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 0 as desired Bread cubes or vegetables (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and add it to the saucepan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden color.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, allowing it to melt completely after each addition.

Step 6

Season the fondue with salt, ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or heat-safe serving dish to keep warm.

Step 8

Serve the Parmesan fondue immediately with bread cubes, steamed vegetables, or other dippable items.
