The taste was good. However, I think it is better to blend the onion and garlic roasted so that it will give smooth consistency. I used Parmesan cheese which is better than Mozzarella. Strongly recommend adding pepper.
OMG! This is sooooo cheessyyy and so yummyyy.. All my family members were in love with it too.. You should definitely try this if you are looking for a new type of a fondue..
