Swiss Fondue Bread

JackieOhNo!'s Note:

This is great if you like the taste of fondue, but don't have a fondue pot! Very tasty appetizer. If you want to give this some more zing, just add about 1/8 t. of your favorite dried spice (dill, basil, oregano, cayenne, garlic, etc.) to the cheese mixture.

I had a large sourdough boule, so I decided to cut it in a crosshatch pattern, then stuff the cheese between the cubes and pour the sauce over the whole thing, letting it soak down into the crevices. I really enjoyed the flavor of the white wine and thought it was a nice substitute for fondue. Everyone at the dinner party I took it to agreed!

I'm eating this as I'm writing the review, and I just love it! I added a bit more cheese, because I'm a cheese lover, but I have to say that this is especially good! I don't know about Italian bread, but it works wonderfully on a French baguette!
