Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons basil, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette, cubed (optional)
- 2 cups assorted raw vegetables (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, breaking the tomatoes down slightly with a spoon.
Pour in the dry white wine, stir well, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
While the tomato mixture is simmering, toss the shredded Gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese with the cornstarch in a separate bowl. This will help thicken the fondue and prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Allow the cheese to melt completely and form a creamy texture.
In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch together to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the fondue to help it thicken further if needed.
Stir in the finely chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or serving dish over a heat source to keep it warm.
Serve with cubed baguette, assorted raw vegetables, or your favorite dipping items. Enjoy immediately!
