Fondue Ingredients

Method

Fondue Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the Gruyère and Emmental cheeses and mix them together in a bowl. This helps them melt evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pot

    Rub the inside of a fondue pot with the garlic clove. Discard the garlic.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the fondue pot, pour the dry white wine and add the lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the wine is warm.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Gradually add the cheese mixture to the pot, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Fondue

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry. Add this to the cheese mixture while stirring to thicken.

  6. 6

    Season

    Add nutmeg and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Keep the fondue warm over low heat and serve with veggie crudités, apple slices, and cubes of bread for dipping.
