22 Reviews of Three-Cheese Fondue with Champagne

I made this for a cocktail buffet this past weekend. I just placed the fondu pot on the buffet table with long wood skewers for people to dip pumpernickle or Italian white bread, apple slices or pear slices. Its worked very well, and was so yummy. I loved the flavor of this and it was really so easy to make. We had some champagne that a neighbor dropped off for us on our wedding day but since neither my husband nor I like champagne I wasn't sure what to do with it. This was the perfect excuse to open it and whatever was left after making this went in people's glasses. I grated all the cheese ahead of time so all I had to do was toss it all together and asign a friend to stirring while I cooked other things. I am sure I will make this again and again. Thanks for a great recipe.

I SECOND THAT WOW! This was sooooo good! I'd never made fondue before, and this was very easy. We are lucky where we live, as the store has a great variety of cheeses, so getting the exact ingredients was no problem. Thanks Mimi! Abbey

This is the first time I made a fondue and it was fabulous! It was very easy to make. I received many compliments including one from a chef! I didn't make any changes to the receipe. At first I didn't think it was going to be enough because the recipe stated that it serves 2. I compared this recipe with a few others and it seems that 1 lb. of cheese is the normal quantity. Now I need to go out and buy a fondue pot! (I had borrowed one from a friend).

A delicious, sophisticated tasting fondue! This was my first time trying out my fondue pot and I had some difficulty getting the brie to melt; however, the fondue tasted great and the yield of fondue, served with bread cubes, lightly steamed broccoli, and the remaining champagne, was perfect for two people.

Great tasting and very easy recipe. I used this for our annual girl's fondue night. For the gruyere and emmanthaler cheese, I just bought the prepared shredded fondue cheese from Whole Foods. Thanks for the recipe.

This is the first fondue I ever made and it will be the only one going forward. It is delicious! Very easy and so so tasty. I have made this several times and never changed a thing. It's perfect.

This was an excellent fondue. I must say that I thought that the gruyere and emmenthaler overpowered the brie. While I loved the flavor, it tasted very similar to the class gruyere and emmenthaler fondue. I'm not sure that I will make this again - mostly because brie is so good by itself, but I do recommend trying it. Thanks Mimi for posting!

This rocked! One hint to nubies though, add the cheese SLOWLY as you MAY end up with a big glop of yummy pot toasted cheese, wich was incidently, still fun to put on crutons on a candle-lit night!

This was outstanding! It was my first fondue, and I served it to a group of women I play cards with as an appetizer. I offered french bread, sourdough, and pumpernickle breads for dippers along with pear slices and a hybrid fruit of apple/pear. It was very well received. I also just used the pre-mixed cheese from whole foods, and purchased the brie seperately. Next time, I might actually try leaving the brie out of the mix, as (perhaps because I was using the preshredded cheese mix?) made the fondue a bit thick. Of course I served the champagne alongside the fondue, which was a wonderful compliment.
