1. Fondue Mac and Cheese
Fondue savoyarde or cheese fondue is a classic of ski resorts in Europe, and the sauce, made with a combination of Swiss cheeses and wine, is the perfect base for mac and cheese. For our fondue mac and cheese, you can either use leftover fondue (if you have any!) or a simple fondue recipe to make a bubbly dish for your family. This one is topped with caramelized shallots, for even more delicious umami flavor. Image: Caroline Léna Becker
