Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gruyere cheese
- 8 ounces Emmental cheese
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Kirsch (cherry brandy) (optional)
- 1 pinch Freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- 1 loaf French bread, cubed
- 2 cups Raw vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, cauliflower)
Instructions
Grate the Gruyere and Emmental cheeses and set them aside in a large bowl.
Rub the inside of a medium-sized saucepan or fondue pot with the clove of garlic, then discard the garlic.
Pour the white wine into the pot and place it over medium heat. Bring the wine to a gentle simmer but avoid boiling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the lemon juice until smooth.
Gradually add small handfuls of the grated cheese to the simmering wine, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion with a wooden spoon. Wait until each handful is fully melted before adding the next one.
Once all the cheese has been melted and incorporated into the wine, stir the cornstarch and lemon juice mixture into the fondue. This will help to thicken the cheese mixture and ensure a smooth consistency.
If desired, stir in the kirsch for an added layer of flavor.
Season the fondue with freshly grated nutmeg and ground black pepper to taste.
Keep the fondue pot over low heat to maintain a warm, creamy consistency while serving.
Serve the cheese fondue immediately with cubed French bread and raw vegetables for dipping. Use fondue forks or skewers to dip and enjoy!
