Tips

1 To prepare the Pecorino fondue, take a small saucepan and melt the knob of butter in a double boiler.
2 Add the grated cheese to the saucepan, then pour in the milk, salt, and water. Cook over low heat, whisking continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil to prevent lumps from forming.
3 Once you’ve reached the desired consistency — which can be adjusted by adding more milk for a thinner or thicker texture — pour the hot cream into a deep dish.
4 Cut the bread into cubes and toast it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) or in a non-stick pan until golden brown.
5 Add the toasted bread cubes to the plated fondue and finish with a sprinkle of black pepper.

Just a few simple ingredients are enough to achieve an excellent result with a uniquely creamy texture.

Perfect as part of an appetizer buffet or as a tasty aperitif bite, pecorino fondue can be enjoyed on its own or served in a bowl for dipping crispy crostini or thin sheets of pane carasau.

Excellent as a sauce to enhance the flavor of many pasta dishes, this creamy preparation can also be used to add richness and a gourmet touch to meat or fish mains — or even to create a deliciously indulgent polenta.

As an alternative to bread, you can dip pieces of previously boiled potatoes into the fondue. Moreover, using the same method, you can make a mixed cheese fondue by adding or replacing the
pecorino with Fontina or Emmental.

The final result will be truly delicious and ultra-creamy — sure to impress your guests.

The ideal way to enjoy fondue is to serve it piping hot. Traditionally, it’s prepared and served in a small pot called a caquelon. Alternatively, you can use a simple ceramic bowl placed at the center of the table — even over a gentle heat source — to keep the cheese smooth and melty throughout the meal.

Finally, if you’re a fan of spices, you can elevate your fondue even further by adding a few spoonfuls of sweet paprika or chili pepper. Aromatic herbs paired with pecorino will make your dishes even more vibrant and flavorful.
