Hard Cider Cheese Dip

October 15, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I love cheese dip in all it’s forms. Beer cheese is such a fall classic and to be honest I started this process thinking I would create some kind of Oktoberfest beer dip, but I’ve already hit that note with delicious Bubbling Beer and Bacon. It struck me that hard cider would add a really interesting sweet and savory contrast that would be delicious with salty pretzels and … [Read more...] about Hard Cider Cheese Dip

Smoked Gouda Fonduta with Crispy Pancetta and Salami

February 5, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

If I am not mistaken, there is a rather large sporting event happening soon. I am more of a fan of the commercials and the food. I think cheese dip is a must-have for the viewing of sports though, but I wanted to step outside the box. And I am all over the map with this one, but boy is it delicious.

A host of flavors simply put in a dish and baked in the oven. This version is like a spinach artichoke dip for dinner. Creamy Boursin cheese adds flavor … [Read more...] about Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake

Melty cheese and crispy bread are the perfect pairing for soup, creamy or brothy. And this may be the ultimate soup sidecar.  If you are fan of the classic croque monsieur, this is basically just the top.  A creamy, cheesy béchamel sauce browned until bubbly on a good piece of bread.  I like it plain, but feel free to alter it to suit your soup – before you melt in the cheese … [Read more...] about Fontina Cheese Toasties

Italian Sausage Dip with Fontina and Sage

February 1, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

It's nice to have a really hearty, hot dip as part of the spread when the ravenous football hordes are hungry. This is a jazzed up version of a classic sausage dip recipe, with warm, winter flavor.  Zesty Italian sausage with the bite of fennel is paired with woodsy sage and creamy, nutty fontina cheese, with a little kick of salty Parmesan to round it out.  Don’t skimp on the … [Read more...] about Italian Sausage Dip with Fontina and Sage

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
