Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Frankfurter sausages
- 300 grams Gruyère cheese
- 200 grams Emmental cheese
- 250 milliliters Dry white wine
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Kirsch (cherry brandy)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf Fresh baguette or crusty bread
Instructions
Grate the Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, and set them aside.
Peel the garlic clove, cut it in half, and rub the inside of a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic. Discard the garlic once the pot has been prepped.
Pour the dry white wine into the pot and heat it over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not let it boil).
Gradually add the grated cheeses to the pot, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion to help the cheese melt smoothly and evenly.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the kirsch, then stir the mixture into the melted cheese. Add the lemon juice and stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until the fondue is rich and creamy.
Season the cheese mixture with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, slice the Frankfurter sausages into bite-sized pieces and warm them in a skillet or boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Arrange them on a platter for serving.
Slice the baguette or crusty bread into cubes, roughly 1 inch in size, and place them in a serving bowl.
Transfer the cheese fondue to a fondue pot or heatproof serving dish. Set it over a fondue burner or warming element to keep the cheese warm and melted.
Serve the warm Frankfurter sausage pieces and bread cubes alongside the fondue pot. Use fondue forks or skewers to dip the sausage and bread into the creamy cheese, and enjoy!
