Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Pepper: 2 peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
  • Cheddar: 250g cheddar, grated
  • Carrot: 2 carrots, cut into batons
  • Cider Vinegar: 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • Creme Fraiche: 3 tbsp creme fraiche
  • Bread: 4 thick slices bread, such as sourdough, chopped into chunks
  • Salami: 200g pack mini salami or 1 thin salami cut into bite-size chunks
  • Celery: 2 celery sticks, thickly sliced
  • Cornflour: 1 tsp cornflour
  • Gruyere: 250g gruyere, grated

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the vinegar with the cornflour and place in a heatproof bowl with the cheeses. Set over a pan of boiling water. Slowly melt the cheese, stirring occasionally. When it's nearly melted, add the creme fraiche and a little black pepper, if you like. Lower the heat and keep warm.
  2. To make croutons, toss the bread in the oil and a little seasoning on a baking sheet, then bake for 10-15 mins until golden and crisp.
  3. To serve, put the cheese fondue on a large platter and arrange the croutons, veg and salamis alongside it.
