Quick Fondue with Pesto
Serves 4

Ingredients
8 oz Gruyere, Emmenthaler, or Beaufort cheese, grated
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pesto (homemade or store-bought)
Toasted bread strips (from a baguette), for serving

Directions
Combine the cheese, wine, salt, and pepper in an attractive heatproof serving bowl and heat in a microwave oven on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture and, if needed, microwave for another 20 or 30 seconds to melt the cheese completely. Stir again until well mixed.

Spoon the pesto on top of the fondue and serve with toast strips. Dip the toasts in the hot cheese mixture, cutting off hanging strings with scissors, if desired, and enjoy. Re-melt the fondue if the mixture becomes too thick for dipping.
