Fondue

Method

Fondue Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the white cheddar cheese using a box grater or food processor. This helps it melt more easily.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Finely mince the garlic cloves to release their flavor.

  3. 3

    Mix Cornstarch

    In a small bowl, combine the grated cheese with cornstarch and toss until the cheese is evenly coated. This will help prevent clumping.

  4. 4

    Heat Wine and Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, add the dry white wine and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese Mixture

    Gradually add the cheese and cornstarch mixture to the simmering wine, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until melted and smooth.

  6. 6

    Season the Fondue

    Stir in lemon juice, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare Dippers

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

  2. 8

    Serve Fondue

    Transfer the melted cheese fondue into a fondue pot or a heatproof serving dish. Serve immediately with the prepared pretzels and apple slices for dipping.
