Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Havarti cheese
- 240 ml Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 loaf or assortment Baguette or dipping items of choice (vegetables, apples, etc.)
Instructions
Grate the Havarti cheese and set aside. This ensures it melts evenly in the fondue.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of white wine until it forms a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Rub the inside of a fondue pot or a medium-sized saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic to infuse the garlic flavor, then discard the garlic clove.
Place the fondue pot or saucepan over medium-low heat and pour in the remaining white wine. Gently heat until the wine is warm but not boiling.
Slowly add the grated Havarti cheese to the warm wine, a handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until melted.
Once all the cheese has melted, stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Add the lemon juice, ground white pepper, and nutmeg, stirring to combine well. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the fondue to a tabletop fondue pot with a heat source (such as a burner or tea light) to keep it warm, or serve directly from the saucepan if eating immediately.
Serve the Havarti fondue with your choice of dipping items such as cubes of baguette, steamed or blanched vegetables, apple slices, or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
