Recipe for fonduta with steamed vegetables in our easy vegetarian recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • Assorted vegetables, such as fennel, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and courgettes
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 12 to 16 rounds of Italian or French baguette
  • For the fonduta:
    • 1 2/3 cups fontina cheese
    • 1 tablespoon flour milk, as required
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • Pinch of grated nutmeg
    • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
    • A few slivers of white truffle, optional
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make fonduta with steamed vegetables

  • About 6 hours before you want to serve the fonduta, cut the fontina into chunks and place in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle with the flour.
  • Pour in enough milk to barely cover the cheese and set aside in a cool place.
  • The cheese should be at room temperature before being cooked.
  • Just before preparing the fonduta, steam the vegetables until tender.
  • Cut into pieces. Place on a serving platter. Dot with butter and keep warm.
  • Butter the bread and toast lightly in the oven or under the grill.
  • For the fonduta, melt the butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in a double boiler.
  • Strain the fontina and add it, with 3 to 4 tablespoons of its soaking milk.
  • Cook, stirring, until the cheese melts.
  • When it is hot, and has formed a homogeneous mass, add the Parmesan and stir until melted.
  • Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately beat in the egg yolks, which have previously been passed through a sieve.
  • Spoon into warmed individual serving bowls, garnish with white truffle, if using.
  • Serve with the vegetables and toasted bread.
