Fondue Ingredients

Dippers

Method

Fondue Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the white cheddar and Gruyère cheese using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the inside of a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cut sides. Discard the garlic after rubbing.

  3. 3

    Mix the Cornstarch

    In a small bowl, mix the grated cheeses with cornstarch until fully coated. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping in the fondue.

  4. 4

    Heat the Wine

    Pour the white wine and fresh lemon juice into the prepared fondue pot. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not boil.

  5. 5

    Add the Cheese Mixture

    Gradually add the cheese and cornstarch mixture to the wine, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until melted and smooth.

  6. 6

    Season the Fondue

    Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients and achieve a creamy consistency.

Serving the Fondue

  1. 7

    Prepare the Dippers

    While the fondue is heating, slice the green apples into wedges and arrange them on a platter alongside the Bavarian salted pretzels.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Once the fondue is ready, transfer it to a fondue pot over a small flame or keep it warm on the stovetop. Serve with pretzel pieces and apple wedges for dipping.
