Cheese fondue is the perfect entertaining food! It’s easy and quick to make, fun to eat, and extremely versatile. We made a Norwegian inspired fondue for our Frozen Disney dinner using Jarlsburg and Gruyere cheeses with bread, apples, and roasted vegetable dippers. Fondue makes a lovely appetizer but can also serve as an entire meal. See our Frozen Disney dinner here and Cinderella New Year’s Eve Ball here.
