Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Swiss cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground mustard powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups (for dipping) Crusty bread cubes
- 2 cups (blanched and chopped for dipping) Vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, or cherry tomatoes)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, toss the shredded Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, orange juice, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently.
Gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk. Allow each addition to melt and become fully incorporated before adding the next.
Once all the cheese has melted, reduce the heat to low. Add the nutmeg, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
Transfer the cheese fondue to a heated fondue pot to keep it warm. Stir occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.
Serve immediately with crusty bread cubes, blanched veggies, or any of your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
