Crawfish Fondue

- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 6
An impressive, but easy appetizer. There are "copy cat" recipes of a popular seafood restaurant's fondue, but ours doesn't have any processed cheese, and we think it blows the others away. This MUST be served in a toasted sourdough bread bowl, though. Read more :) See less
Ingredients
- 1/2 stick butter shopping list
- 4oz cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 1/2 small onion, diced shopping list

How to make it
- In large saucepan or dutch oven, melt butter and saute onion and pepper until just softening
- add cream cheese and cook on low stirring frequently, until smooth
- add crawfish and stock and stir to combine
- add shredded cheese and cook on low, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted
- add small amount more of stock, if needed, for desired consistency
- add cayenne, salt and pepper, and stir to combine
- Let cool slightly to thicken
- Pour into bread bowl and serve with toasted bread chunks.
- *to toast, just hollow the bread and place it and the inside chunks in 400 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until crusty

Hi Keni...sorry I am a little late, but I had to run and do something and come back..
I made the fondue for the Super Bowl (yes it made it to the Big Game!)and got rave reviews! It was definitely a winner and will be back for repeat performance...more
