Cheese Fondue

Tips:
   1. Make sure everything is prepped before you turn the stove on.  
   2. Don't try and make the fondue in the pot. Do it on the stove first and transfer to the fondue pot after it's prepared.
   3. Do not leave the cheese unattended after you've started - it will either clump, scorch or curdle if you walk away - don't know why, but it always. 

Ingredients:
2 lbs. Grated Cheese (I prefer White Cheddar).
4 Cups Melting Liquid (This can be sparkling cider, or beverage of your choice that starts with a "B" and ends with an "R".)
4 Tbsp. Corn Starch
Hot Sauce to Taste
Garlic Powder to Taste

Directions:
1. Heat the melting liquid over a medium high flame. 
2. Take half of the cheese and toss in a separate bowl with the corn starch. (Keep the rest of the cheese in reserve.) 
3. When the melting liquid is simmering, add the cheese that has been tossed with the corn starch.  
4. Stirring until it has melted and been incorporated.  
5. Add in the rest of the cheese and the hot sauce and garlic powder to your taste preferences.  
6. Never add more cheese until the previous addition has been melted and incorporated.  Bring up to a melting point.  
7. Transfer to a fondue pot over a flame to keep warm. 
8. Stir the pot as necessary to prevent scorching.

Ham & Cheese Sliders

Ingredients for:
 
Honey Mustard
·         1 cup mayonnaise
·         1/4 cup honey
·         1/8 cup mustard

In a small bowl whisk all together and set aside.

Poppy Seed Dressing
·         2 tablespoons poppy seeds
·         3 tablespoons honey mustard sauce from above
·         1 cup butter, melted
·         1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Whisk all together and set aside

Assembly
·         24 white rolls
·         24 slices of ham
·         24 slices of white cheddar cheese
·         mayonnaise
·         honey mustard sauce from above

Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice open the rolls and spread the honey mustard sauce on the bottom and mayonnaise on the top.  Place a slice of ham and cheese on each roll and place the top on each sandwich.  Place all the sandwiches on a cookies sheet and drizzle each sandwich with the poppy seed dressing until you have used a little more than half and each sandwich is covered.  Tightly wrap the pan with tin foil and bake for 12-15 minutes.  After baking you can drizzle with a little more sauce (you may need to melt it again) then serve immediately.

Note – sandwiches can be made ahead of time then topped with the dressing and baked when needed.
