Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gruyère cheese
- 250 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 clove Garlic
- 240 milliliters Guinness beer
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry mustard powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 500 grams Bread cubes or dipping items (e.g., vegetables, pretzels)
Instructions
Grate the Gruyère and sharp cheddar cheese, then toss them with the cornstarch to coat. Set aside.
Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the inside of your fondue pot or a medium saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic. Discard the garlic afterward.
Pour the Guinness beer into the pot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the beer is gently simmering, lower the heat and gradually add the cheese mixture one handful at a time, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion until melted and smooth before adding more.
Stir in the lemon juice, dry mustard powder, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to combine.
Once the fondue is smooth and creamy, transfer it to a tabletop fondue pot to keep warm (if not already in one).
Serve immediately with assorted bread cubes, vegetables, or pretzels for dipping. Enjoy the rich and tangy flavors!
