Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 8 ounces Emmental cheese
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 assortment Assorted dippers (e.g., cubed bread, steamed vegetables, apple slices)
Instructions
Grate the Gruyère and Emmental cheeses into a large mixing bowl. Toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
Peel the garlic clove and slice it in half. Rub the cut sides of the garlic all over the inside of a medium-sized fondue pot or heavy saucepan, then discard the garlic.
Pour the dry white wine into the pot and heat it over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the grated cheese mixture to the pot, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Allow each handful of cheese to melt completely before adding more.
Once all the cheese is melted and smooth, stir in the lemon juice, nutmeg, and black pepper. Continue to mix gently until everything is fully combined.
Keep the fondue warm over low heat or a fondue burner. Adjust consistency if necessary by adding a splash of wine if the fondue is too thick.
Serve immediately with an assortment of dippers like cubed bread, steamed vegetables, and apple slices. Encourage guests to stir the fondue occasionally to prevent it from separating.
