Spinach Maria: A Classic Dish
Sometimes, it’s the simplest dishes that leave the biggest impression at parties. This Spinach Maria—our take on the East Tennessee classic—is rich, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Made with plenty of spinach, Monterey Jack cheese, and a warm blend of cayenne, nutmeg, and crushed red pepper, it’s perfectly indulgent with just the right kick.

Prep it in advance and reheat it in your Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet so it stays warm throughout the evening. With its make-ahead ease and bold flavor, it’s a party favorite that never disappoints.
Chocolate Fondue: A Sweet Treat for Everyone
For a dessert that doubles as entertainment, consider making chocolate fondue using your Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet (EP-PBC10). This easy-to-make and fun-to-enjoy dessert is perfect for dipping fresh fruits, baked treats, or marshmallows.

Simply melt together heavy cream, bittersweet chocolate, and a hint of vanilla for a silky, rich fondue. The Electric Skillet keeps the fondue at the perfect temperature, allowing guests to dip their favorite treats at their leisure. This is a great way to provide a hands-on dessert experience while keeping the fun going all night.
Self-Serve Cheese Fondue: Perfect for Group Settings
For another fun and flavorful party treat, try self-serve cheese fondue. Made with Gruyere, cheddar, and Emmentaler cheeses, this warm, creamy dip is perfect for dipping fresh bread, veggies, or crackers. The Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet (EP-PBC10) allows your guests to dip at their leisure, keeping the cheese at the perfect temperature and texture for as long as you need.

Cheese fondue is a classic party favorite, and the Gourmet Electric Skillet ensures your cheese stays melted and ready to dip without any fuss. This is a great way to offer your guests a fun and interactive eating experience while getting a taste of the Alps!
