Bonaparte Fondue
Alexis de Portneuf
"Mixed with mushrooms and apple cider, this earthy and rich fondue will warm everyone right up. Serve with a sufficient quantity of blanched asparagus tips, bread cubes, and tiny new potatoes, cooked and halved for dipping."

Ready In
- In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the dried mushrooms, cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the rehydrated mushrooms, return to the soaking liquid and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and sweat the shallots for 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and their liquid. Bring to a boil and reduce until the liquid is almost completely evaporated. Add the cider and bring to a boil.
- In a bowl, toss the Bonaparte cheese with the corn starch. Add one third of the cheese to the saucepan and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Repeat with the remaining cheese, one-third at a time.
- Heat the mixture to just below boiling. It should be nice and smooth but not too thick. Remove from heat and stir in the minced garlic. Add a little sugar, if desired, to neutralize any bitterness.
- Serve in a fondue pot with the bread and vegetables for dipping.
Footnotes
- Tip:
- It's easier to peel the cheese if the rind is firm. Place the whole cheese in the freezer for 90 minutes, then remove the rind with a sharp knife.

It was amazing, though the Bonapart cheese needed a little more time in the freezer. LOVED IT! Amazing! My boyfriend and I do it from time to time and we enjoy it a lot!
