Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gruyère cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 120 milliliters Dry white wine
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 400 grams Bread cubes or vegetables (for dipping)
Instructions
Grate the Gruyère cheese and toss it with cornstarch in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.
Peel the clove of garlic, cut it in half, and rub the inside of the microwave-safe bowl with the cut sides of the garlic to infuse a mild garlic flavor. Discard the garlic.
Add the dry white wine and lemon juice to the bowl with the cheese mixture.
Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly to combine. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth (approximately 3-5 minutes in total).
Stir in nutmeg and black pepper for seasoning. Adjust seasoning if needed, to taste.
Serve immediately with bread cubes, vegetables, or crackers for dipping. Keep the fondue warm by reheating in 15-second intervals as needed.
