Method

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently wipe the Portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and gills for a cleaner taste.

  2. 2

    Season the Mushrooms

    In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the cleaned Portabella mushrooms and coat them evenly with the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Fondue Preparation

  1. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In a medium saucepan, combine the minced garlic and white wine. Heat over medium until it simmers, then gradually add the grated Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.

  2. 5

    Thicken the Fondue

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the melted cheese and stir until the fondue thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Season the Fondue

    Add the fresh thyme leaves, grated nutmeg, and additional black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Dipping Items

    Transfer the hot cheese fondue to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with crispy Portabella mushrooms, crusty bread cubes, and assorted vegetables for dipping.
