- Beemster Vlaskaas (21 ounces - grated)
- 1 loaf whole wheat bread or 4 Panini

Materials
Preparation
Cut the onion into 4 wedges, chop the garlic into large pieces and place in saucepan. Add milk and simmer, 10 minutes. Strain the onion and garlic from the milk. In the meantime grate the Vlaskaas. Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes or ½ inch slices. Grind the coriander. Melt the butter in the fondue pot. In the pan used to simmer the garlic and onions, slowly mix the flour into the milk, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture into the fondue pot while stirring and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add the grated cheese little by little while continuing to stir. Let the cheese melt while stirring. Stir in wine. Once the fondue reaches an even texture, mix in the cognac and continue to stir. Keep fondue heated until ready to serve. Sprinkle the coriander on top before serving. Put the bread on the table and dip into the fondue. Serve with white wine or beer.
TIPS
• Serve the fondue with a salad of fresh fruits: apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, and pineapples.
• For a 100% alcohol-free fondue, replace the wine and cognac with 2 cups of an alcohol-free beer.
• For a lactose free fondue, replace the milk with white wine.
