Mushroom and Cheese Fondue

I don't know how I came across this mushroom and cheese recipe but it's really good, especially if you like Brie fondue.

Stuff you'll need:
- a cheese fondue pot
- lots of bread dippers
- 25 g (about 1 oz) dried Porcini mushrooms soaked in a cup of water to soften (keep water)
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) margarine or butter
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) onions, diced
- 225 g (8 oz) shiitake mushroom tops, diced
- 250 ml (1 cup) dry white wine
- 450 g (1 lb) Brie cheese, cubed
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) flour

How to make cheese fondue:

1- Once the Porcini mushrooms are soft, cut into small cubes and strain the water (set aside).

2- In a medium pot, melt margarine and brown the onions with the shiitake mushrooms for about 3 minutes.

3- Add the porcini mushrooms and water and simmer until all the water evaporates.

4- Add wine and reduce heat to medium.

5- In a separate bowl, cover the cheese with the flour, then melt it gradually into the warm wine and mushroom mixture.

6- Mix well until it's all melted and season to taste (salt, pepper, chili pepper, etc.)

7- Transfer to a warm fondue pot and dip pieces of bread into the pot.
