10-Minute Sundried Tomato and Rosemary Fondue {Lactose-Free; Gluten-Free}

December 11, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

This 10-Minute Sundried Tomato and Rosemary Fondue will be the hit of your holiday party!

10-Minute Sundried Tomato and Rosemary Fondue {Lactose-Free; Gluten-Free} 1

With how busy we all are this time of year, I know it’s tempting to avoid cooking. After all, if you can eat out or have a party catered you avoid having to cleanup too, which is a total perk.

But I have a 10-minute (and one-pot!) appetizer or party food that will make you a rock star at your next holiday gathering.

Fondue is one of my favorite cheese dishes, but it’s something I don’t usually take the time to make at home (read: I never make it at home!). And I’m particular about my fondue, so we very seldom eat it at restaurants too. The best thing about this version is how easy it is to make and how fast it comes together; we all can spare 10 minutes for fondue, right? Especially if you want a new dish to try for your holiday party!

Here I took a little Italian inspiration and flavored my fondue with garlic, sundried tomatoes, and rosemary; it’s a classic combo that’s always a crowd-pleaser. I used GO VEGGIE Vegan Classic Plain Cream Cheese and GO VEGGIE Lactose and Soy Free Mozzarella Shreds, so even folks who are lactose-intolerant can enjoy this fondue. These GO VEGGIE products have more calcium than regular cheese, plus less calories, fat and saturated fat, and bonus, no cholesterol. And they’re gluten free as well! (Side Note: If keeping this dish gluten free is a concern, be sure to serve this fondue with gluten free dippers, such as gluten free bread or crackers, fruit, and/or vegetables.)

And bonus, if you have leftover fondue you can spread it on a sandwich (instead of cheese and mayo) or thin it out with a little milk as needed and toss it with pasta (along with steamed broccoli and maybe grilled chicken) for a quick dinner!

Do you have a go-to dish that you always bring to holiday parties?

    I adore fondue!! :) And this one sounds amazing! Plus, bonus points for being lactose free. I have a slight lactose intolerance, but most cheeses don’t bother me too much. I do have to watch how much of it that I eat at one time though. Definitely going to have to check out those GO VEGGIE cheeses soon.

    I love sun dried tomatoes! This fondue looks insanely good, and with those toasted crostini it is the perfect party appetizer!
