So back in the 70’s my parents were the party throwers. My mom didn’t really like to cook, but she was an excellent cook! Swiss Fondue was very”In”. It was favored with gruyere cheese and white wine. I also remember a cheese strata, that a boyfriend’s mom made and a cheese casserole too.

I thought Id do a mash up of these recipes and see what happened. Well, it was magic! You can serve this with crackers as a dip. You can serve it on it’s own as a side dish or all of the above. How do you like you cheese served?

Cheese "Fondue"
