Time to get your cheese on! Make fondue at home for a fun and tasty activity the whole family can enjoy. Fondü by Emmi is a ready-to-serve melted cheese sauce: all you have to do is heat, stir, and serve. It’s made with fresh milk and artisan, aged cheeses from Switzerland, and carefully crafted according to a generations-old recipe. Get the kids involved in choosing and preparing your dipping ingredients! The options are endless: whole wheat bread, apples, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes. There’s no doubt that everyone will be screaming, “More cheese please!”

Emmi Fondü is a fun, hands-on way to cook and share a meal with my entire family. We usually eat our Fondü with fresh vegetables, fruit, and potatoes. My kids love the whole process so much and have such a great time eating it that they even wind up fighting over the vegetables!

Emmi Fondü comes fully prepared, so making it is just a two-step process that takes only ten minutes.

Gruyere AOP and Bacon Savory Pancakes

Ingredients

For 8 pancakes:

• 8 oz. (250g) Gruyère AOP
• 1/2 cup (125g) buckwheat flour
• 1/2 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (250ml) milk
• 250ml water
• salt
• 5 Tbsp (80g) butter
• 8 oz (250g) bacon, thinly sliced
• ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Beat the flours, eggs, milk, water and a pinch of salt together to make a smooth batter. Leave this to rest for 30 minutes. Melt half the butter and leave to cool. Thinly slice the Gruyère AOP.

Combine the melted butter with the batter. Cut the slices of bacon in half and dry fry them. Remove from the heat and pat dry with a paper towel. Wipe the frying pan clean and melt some of the remaining butter. Add ⅛ of the batter and swirl it around the base of the pan.

Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on a medium heat until golden, and then flip. Put a few slices of bacon and Gruyère AOP on top and cover the frying pan for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Fold approximately an inch (3cm) of the edge of the pancake over the filling and keep them warm, if necessary, in a preheated oven at 125°F (50°C). Rinse, dry and chop the parsley and use this to garnish the pancakes.
