Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 6 ounces feta cheese
  • 2 scallions minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup walnuts toasted and finely chopped

Method

  • In a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter the stir in the flour.
  • Stir the 2 together into a paste.
  • Whisk in the milk to create what the French call a bechamel sauce.
  • Drop the temperature a little and simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes so it thickens and the flour taste cooks out.
  • After that it's easy, just fold in the crumbled feta, scallions, and parsley.
  • Season it with salt and a little cracked pepper.
  • Once the cheese melts it is officially fondue, you can either use a fondue pot with a candle or just leave it in the pot and have everyone eat from there.
  • Finish it with the walnuts tossed on top.
  • I like to cut up bite size pieces of bread and melon or maybe pitted olives and prosciutto, either way this is always a holiday hit.
