Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Cooked sausage links (your choice: bratwurst, smoked, or Italian)
- 2 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter for browning sausage
Instructions
If the sausages are not already cooked, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or butter. Cook the sausages until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded Swiss cheese and shredded cheddar cheese with the cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help thicken the fondue.
In a medium-sized pot or fondue pot, heat the dry white wine over medium-low heat until it begins to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Add the minced garlic to the wine and stir to combine. Gradually add the cheese mixture to the pot, a handful at a time, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion. Let each addition melt completely before adding the next.
Once all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, season with freshly ground black pepper and ground nutmeg, if using. Reduce the heat to low to keep the fondue warm and creamy.
Arrange the sliced sausages on a serving platter alongside a bowl of bite-sized bread pieces. Serve the fondue warm, and encourage guests to dip the sausage and bread into the cheese using skewers or fondue forks.
Enjoy immediately while the fondue is hot and creamy. Stir occasionally to maintain consistency.
