You eat it with crunchy vegetables and the bread you have left over when you hollow it out. If you cut that bread into cubes and drizzle olive oil and sea salt over it and rub it with garlic, you have a top recipe.
And now, especially also with a Halloween version. Because this cream cheese fondue is suitable for that.
What do you need for Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl?
To prepare this Cheese Fondue Bread Bowl, you require the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
Ingredients Cheese Fondue Bread Bowl
- Cream cheese: This is a white, creamy, spreadable type of cheese. It has a mild taste. Natural cream cheese is used here.
- Gouda cheese: A cheese with a full, creamy taste. Use it grated, then it melts better.
- Cheddar: An English orange-colored cheese that tastes spicy. If you want to replace it, you could use Gruyère. Use grated Cheddar; then it melts better in the fondue.
- Sweet Chili Sauce: Is a slightly spicy bright orange sweet and sour sauce. Made from chili pepper, sugar, vinegar, and other seasonings.
- Mascarpone: a soft and rich cream cheese that makes the mousse very creamy.
- Bread, uncut: A corn roll, sourdough bread, or other bread, this cheese fondue always tastes good. Make sure the bread is uncut because you want to be able to hollow out the bread yourself.
Ingredients Halloween Style
- Puff pastry: Dough that is savory and made of butter and flour. It puff's when it is baked.
- Egg: Used to 'stick' the topping to the dough.
