This is such an easy dish to pull together, in part because it's the perfect foil to make good use of leftovers.
Cheese fondue is a fun, interactive way for the whole family to eat. Kids and grown-ups can dip everything from bread, fruit, vegetables, and meat in the fondue, made with protein-packed cheese and milk. While traditional fondue is made with Gruyere and white wine, this family-friendly version uses any mix of cheese you like along with milk for kids of all ages to enjoy. Serve this fondue in a traditional pot or in a bread bowl.
