A creamy combination of Havarti and Gouda cheese along with pale ale and caramelized onions. this is the most decadent beer cheese fondue you’ll ever try!
Melt the butter over medium heat in a 1-quart saucepan on the stove or in a fondue pot.
Dice up the onions, not too finely as they will shrink down.
Add the onions to the melted butter and heat until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Decrease the heat if needed. Caramelization should take about 20 minutes or so.
Add the flour to the onions and stir to combine. Cook for one minute, stirring continuously.
Add in the nutmeg, then stir in the beer and let it thicken and reduce for approximately 15 minutes.
Turn the heat off, and allow the beer base to cool for 5 minutes.
Gradually add the room temperature cheeses to the pot and let it melt slowly for the best consistency. Use a silicone spatula to stir as it melts.
Once the cheese is melted and combined, garnish the top with cooked bacon.
Serve with crusty French bread and enjoy!
