Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gruyere cheese
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (baguette or sourdough)
- 8 pieces Cooked breakfast sausage links
- 2 cups Fresh vegetables (cherry tomatoes, steamed broccoli, etc.)
- 4 pieces Eggs (optional, soft boiled and halved)
Instructions
Grate the Gruyere and Cheddar cheeses and toss them with the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, warm the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until small bubbles form at the edges, but do not allow it to boil.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Rub the inside of a fondue pot or heavy-bottomed saucepan with the garlic halves to infuse flavor. Discard the garlic afterward.
Gradually add the grated cheese mixture to the warmed milk and cream, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion until melted and smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to combine and reduce heat to low to keep the fondue warm and smooth.
Cut the crusty bread into bite-sized cubes. Arrange the bread, cooked sausage links, fresh vegetables, and optional soft-boiled eggs on a platter around the fondue pot.
Serve the fondue immediately while warm. Use fondue forks or skewers to dip the bread, sausage, vegetables, and eggs into the cheesy goodness. Enjoy!
