I'm brand new here, and I thought this said cheers lovers, as in the TV show. I was a little too excited.

Then I noticed it was cheese, and I was still pretty amped!

I make this in the fall. I bake a hollowed out pumpkin and put the fondue inside to keep it warm and gooey. And I modify, because I have never seen kirsch anywhere.

Buy baked lemon ricotta. Then eat it. It's reminiscent of cheesecake. Mmmm

I use this recipe, with a LOT of cayenne. And be sure to use ranch dressing mix and not the dip mix:

3-4 tbs half and half
1 tbs ricotta
salt/pepper/whatever seasonings you want, to taste

put these in a pan over med low heat, until slightly bubbly and thick. Meanwhile, nuke a bag of cauliflower for a few minutes and cut into bite-sized pieces (I just blindly chop them until they look good). 

Once the liquid ingredients start to bubble, add 5-6 oz of shredded cheese of your choice, and combine until the cheese is melted and gooey. Add the diced up steamed cauli to the concoction and stir together.

Put the cheesy cauliflower into a small baking crock/pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350, it will be bubbly and brown on the top. Cool for 5 minutes, then dig in. It could serve two/three people as a side dish, but I usually eat most of it myself as a meal.

Sometimes when I'm feeling festive, I add a few strips of bacon to the top, or put some canadian bacon in the mix. It's pretty versatile.

Thank you gault!

I saw a suggestion on here to bake goat cheese at 425 under starting to brown then drizzle with honey. SO good with crackers. Our favorite version is to use crumble goat cheese with a bit of thyme, salt, and cracked pepper stirred in, baked, topped with local honey and served with pita chips.
