This savory Mushroom Marsala Fondue takes just 25-minutes from start to finish. It is sophisticated and impressive, yet easy to prepare.
I love dishes that impress my family and friends. And I love it even more when they take less than 25-minutes to prepare and serve. This Mushroom Marsala Fondue paired with Alexia Potato Puffs and your favorite sides make an impressively easy meal or appetizer.
For those of you who follow along with me every day, you know that my family recently moved into a new home. We built a home from scratch, able to make it our very own in every way. The entire reason we uprooted from our first home together, the one that our babies were born and grew up in, was so we could have more room to entertain.
I love to throw and host parties. From birthday celebrations, to game night, book club, or my hubby’s favorite Newly Wed game night (although we aren’t newlyweds), there’s nothing more satisfying to me than watching people bond and share happiness over a table spread with good food. But here’s my secret to a successful “party” – stress-free recipes. I loving making recipes that take little time, but look like they took me hours in the kitchen. I was inspired by the Alexia Potato Puffs to make a sophisticated fondue. Cheesy potatoes are a weakness of mine; add Marsala and mushrooms, and you are rockin’ my socks.
I love to start with my favorite Alexia products like their Crispy Rosemary Fries with Sea Salt, Organic Crinkles with Sea Salt and Black Pepper Truffle Fries (seasoned with parsley and Parmesan), and then make sophisticated sauces or toppings to dress them up (Although my kids steal most of them straight from the oven). Alexia products are all-natural, creatively crafted and have distinctive, real ingredients, like truffle.
I love warming hearts, creating smiles and hearing a house full of laughter, and of course, having it centered around a table of delicious, easily prepared food. Enjoy this Mushroom Marsala Fondue Paired with Potato Puffs; your family and friends will love it.
Enjoy! XOXO San
