I was shocked when I found out that the original recipe for fondue was something that you bake like a casserole. Not in those cute little hot pots with a fork that were so popular in the 1970's.
Cheese Fondue (Original Recipe from 1961)
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 cup grated American Cheese
1/2
teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine melted
3
eggs separated
1 cup milk
Place bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and
pepper, and melted butter in a mixing bowl, and mix well. Beat egg yolks until
thick and lemon colored, and add milk. Add to bread crumb cheese mixture, and
stir. Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold into mixture.
Pour into a greased baking dish. Set in a pan containing hot water up to about 2/3 depth of the baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven 350 for 30 to 40 minutes or until firm. Insert tip of knife in center of Fondue, and if knife is clean, the fondue is done. Serve immediately in dish in which it was baked. Note: Cheese fondue can also be baked in individual baking cups in less time.
Now
here's the Fondue recipes we are all use to, and were fond of growing up with.
First you need a fondue pot. For awhile I saw many in the thrift stores, but now
Fondue is becoming popular again. So dig your fondue pot out of the attic for
some Fondue party fun.

How to Have a Fondue Party
A fondue party can create so much fun. It is perfect for teens, small informal dinner parties, and cookouts. All you need is the ingredients and the guests. Allow the guests the fun of preparing their own meal at the table; each diner becomes his own chef. Be sure to warn guests that the fondue forks become very hot and advise them to transfer the cooked food to a dinner fork, dipping into sauces.
In planning
a fondue party, give free rein to your imagination. Serve a tossed green salad,
crunchy dinner rolls, and a simple dessert of fresh fruit and cheese.
