Four Cheese Fondue
I made this for a fondue night with my sister. We served it with apples, salami, and Sicilian bread. I would definitely recommend splurging a little bit and making sure that you buy good quality cheese – it will be well worth it. If you have a fondue pot, you can obviously use that, but a crock pot or medium saucepan over low heat will work just fine!
