recipe reviews for:

Matty's Brie Cheese Fondue

“I call this a coffee table dinner -- arrange everything on your living room table and pick and choose at your leisure. Not a meal to rush through! Rent a favorite old movie, anything from the 70's works great...think Flash Gordon or a Shaft movie. Get a bottle of wine, and have a fun and lounging 70s-style-updated-for-the-00's fondue night.”

The flavor is fantastic! It got very clumpy....would love to know if this is normal or if I did something wrong.

Great flavor, but the brie didn't want to melt.

I also added some asiago cheese and bacon bits. Didn't add any brandy bc I didn't have it. It turned out great!

After shopping, I realized I had no corn starch, so I subbed white flour. I used chardonnay and cooking sherry for the alcohol. I made this for my hubby and sons (18 and 13) and another 19-year-old whose timing is always perfect. Used french bread cubes, steamed broccoli and apple pieces. Great hit! Everyone loved it. Probably made enough for 6, but we served with steamed shrimp. Definite make-again. Can't wait to try with corn starch to compare silkiness, but flour was fine, too! Thanks, OregonCoastGirl, for a great cheese fondue!

Amazing! I ran out of white wine so I used chicken stock. My 3 year old LOVED it. We'll definately add this into our meal rotation more frequently.

It's good with sweet white wine, like a Riesling, too.

I didn't like this at all....other reviewer was right; the overwhelming wine taste was awful. Maybe the chicken broth would have been better.

I made a couple changes to this recipe. I used chicken broth instead of wine. I changed the cornstarch to flour and added a few ounces of jalapeno pepper cheese. It was delicious. My family loved it.

This is nice because the flavour isn't as strong as some other fondues I've had. Especially a brie one with a tiny amount of gorgonzola, which totally wrecked it. This one works much better.

I served this for Valentines Day for my husband. We both loved it. I did end up being a little on the salty side. Neither of us seemed to mind it as it wasn't overpoweringly salty. (I should have tasted it before adding additional salt) I don't keep wine or sherry on hand but I did have white cooking wine and cooking sherry so there wasn't an alcohol taste like some of the other reviewers found. Since there was only two of us eating I cut the recipe in half, except for the garlic, I still crushed up 2 cloves and it was perfect. I served this with beer bread, cooked chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper) apples and veggies. We both loved it!
