Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece round artisan bread loaf
- 250 grams Swiss cheese, grated
- 150 grams Gruyère cheese, grated
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cut a grid pattern into the bread loaf, making sure not to slice all the way through to the bottom crust. Leave the base intact to keep the bread loaf as a whole.
In a heatproof bowl, toss the grated Swiss cheese and Gruyère cheese with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice.
Slowly add the cheese mixture to the simmering wine, stirring constantly to melt. Continue stirring until the cheese is smooth and completely combined with the liquid.
Add the freshly grated nutmeg and black pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.
Carefully spoon or pour the cheese fondue mixture into the cuts of the prepared bread loaf. Make sure the cheese seeps into all the crevices for maximum flavor.
Brush the melted butter over the top and sides of the bread loaf to promote crispness while baking.
Wrap the stuffed bread loaf loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the bread to crisp up.
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately by pulling apart the cheesy bread chunks and enjoy!
