Olive Garden Five Cheese Fonduta is so delicious that i’ve decided to make a copycat recipe for this heavenly appetizer. If melted cheese isn’t one of the most delicious, and sinful foods worth each calorie you take, well than I really don’t know what is!

My husband and i have recently visited Olive Garden and got the “Dip Duo” and we got really stuffed on cheese. He begged me to re-create him a homemade version of the 5 Cheese Italian Fonduta on Saturday when he watches soccer games.

I am not 100% certain of each cheese they use in their dip, however i was sure I may taste mozzarella and Parmesan. Anyway, the version I created at home, you’re really going to love!

It blows their version away. Primarily cause the cheeses you can purchase at your market are simply higher quality than most chain restaurants. I always use fresh mozzarella balls. Another secret is to not get any grated cheese that comes in the bag. You can, however it simply doesn’t have identical melt-ability and efficiency that freshly cheese off the block provides.

Next, you have got to look for a fresh baguette bread (or a low-carb bread with almond flour if you’re on low-carb diet) from your store and broil it with lots and plenty of butter and freshly chopped garlic. It’ll be really crunchy and chewy – simply the right texture to dip into your stretchable cheese.

Flip the oven on Broil and add tomatoes ( diced ) in the middle of cheese mixture. Combine and cook for an extra 3-4 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Slice the French baguette and lay on a baking sheet, while the cheese is cooking.
