Prep the Bread Bowl

Start by selecting a round loaf of bread, like a sourdough or a rustic loaf. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top of the bread and set it aside. Gently hollow out the bread, leaving about a 1-inch thick wall. Save the extra bread pieces for dipping!

Make the Cheese Fondue

In a saucepan, melt your desired cheeses. You can go for classic options like Gruyere and Emmental, or get creative with cheddar, mozzarella, or even blue cheese. Add a splash of white wine and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. Stir until the cheese is smooth and creamy.

Fill the Bread Bowl

Pour the melted cheese fondue into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Make sure to leave some space at the top for the cheese to bubble and form a gooey crust. Place the reserved bread top back on the bowl.

Bake and Enjoy

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the bread bowl onto a baking sheet and pop it into the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the bread crust is golden brown. Once ready, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Gather your friends around, grab those extra bread pieces you saved earlier, and start dipping into the delicious cheese fondue!
