Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 pound firm alpine-style cheese (such as gruyere)
1/3 pound fontina
1/3 pound gouda
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Boiled baby new potatoes in their skins (quartered if large)
Lightly steamed broccoli florets
Lightly steamed cauliflower florets
Lightly steamed asparagus
Button mushrooms (wiped clean and stems removed)
Cherry tomatoes
Sliced firm apples (such as Granny Smith)
Cooked sliced hot sausage
Cubed French, sourdough, and/or pumpernickel bread

Steps:

  • Grate all of the cheeses. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.
  • In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg.
  • Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry white wine, divided
1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 peeled garlic clove, halved
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3-4 drops hot sauce

Steps:

  • Combine 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of the wine in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine remaining cornstarch with the cheeses. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, rub the sides with the cut side of the garlic. Discard the garlic cloves.
  • Add the remaining wine to the large saucepan and heat over medium heat. You want to cook it until bubbles form around sides of the pan.
  • Stir in lemon juice.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add a handful of the cheese mixture to the saucepan. Stir constantly, using the figure-eight hand motion until the cheese is almost melted completely.
  • Continue adding the rest of the cheese, one handful at a time. You want to allow the cheese to completely melt between additions.
  • Once the cheese mixture has all been added, stir in the garlic powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce. Stir in cornstarch mixture gradually to the pan.
  • Stir and cook until mixture is smooth and thickened.
  • Keep warm and serve with dippers.
