Creamy Beer Cheese Fondue with Toasted Bread Cubes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until lightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes, stirring twice.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Pour in the beer and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

3. 3

   Toss the shredded cheddar cheese with the flour, then gradually stir the cheese mixture into the saucepan until melted and smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the half-and-half cream.

4. 4

   Transfer the fondue to a small fondue pot or slow cooker set to keep it warm. Add more cream as needed if the fondue thickens. Serve the fondue warm with the toasted bread cubes for dipping.
