Ingredients for Blue Cheese Fondue:
Cambozola cheese - 3/4 lbs. (rind removed; cheese crumbled)
Pungent blue cheese - 3/4 lbs. (rind removed; cheese crumbled)
Cornstarch - 5 tsp.
Dry white wine - 1/4 cup
Fresh thyme - 2 tsp. (minced)
Heavy cream - 3/4 cup
Cayenne pepper - a pinch
Ground black pepper - 1/4 tsp.
Chives - 5 (snipped)
Assorted vegetables - 2-3 lbs (such as blanched green beans, broccolini, asparagus, peeled baby carrots and radishes)
Crusty bread - 1/2 loaf (cut into cubes)
Method of preparing the Blue Cheese Fondue:
  1. Combine the cheeses and cornstarch in a bowl.
  2. Add the wine and thyme to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place on medium heat. Leave to simmer for 1 minute, then whisk in the cream, cayenne, and black pepper.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low when the mixture starts to bubble.
  4. Transfer the cheese mixture (from step 1) to the saucepan and stir with a rubber spatula until the cheese has completely melted and is well-combined with the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Fill a fondue pot with 1 inch of simmering water and place the ceramic insert over the pot. Pour in the fondue and add some chives as a final touch.
  6. Serve alongside the dippers.
