Easy Cheesy Due

• 8 ounces sourdough batard
• Kosher salt
• 12 ounces assorted hard cheese, such asGruyere, Manchego, Aged Asiago or Cheddar, grated
• 1 level tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Pinch dry mustard
• Pinch crushed red pepper
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 small shallot, minced

1. Cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices. Toast in a toaster or under a broiler. Cut into strips or bite-size pieces.
2. Combine the cheeses, flour, mustard and pepper in a bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined. Set aside.
3. Fill a fondue pot with hot water. Set aside.
4. Put the wine and the shallot in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the shallot is soft. Add the cheese a handful at a time, stirring until thoroughly melted before adding the next handful.
5. Pour the hot water out of the fondue pot. Transfer the cheese mixture to the fondue pot, put a low flame underneath it and serve with the toasted bread.
6. Note: If you don't have a fondue pot, keep the fondue in the saucepan and reheat as necessary if the cheese starts to harden.
