These two blue cheese fondue recipes will impress the blue cheese lovers amongst your friends and family. These fondue recipes have a stronger taste than most cheese fondue because of the blue cheese.
There are two variations for you to try: one with Brie cheese and one with Monterey Jack and cream cheese.

Use your imagination and have fun! Make sure to get the right equipment for your cheese fondues.
If you don’t already have a fondue pot for this blue cheese fondue recipe, you may want to consider getting a versatile fondue pot that you can use for chocolate fondue, cheese fondue, and meat fondue in either hot oil or broth.
I recommend the pot shown on the right. In addition to being versatile, it is also electrical and you will not need to buy fondue fuel.
I recommend the Artesia 3 In 1 Electric Fondue Set as a multipurpose cheese fondue pot that would work great for this cheese fondue and all other types of fondue, including chocolate and broth/oil fondue with meat.
