Cobly or Monteray Jack Fondue image

Most classic fondue recipes use Swiss or Swiss and Gruyere cheese. Not all cheese made good fondues and will separate into two layers of cheese and wine, or are too runny to be used. This recipe has been modified to work with Colby or Monterey Jack neither of which work well in the classic fondue recipe.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch nutmeg
Assorted dippers

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
  • Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, cut in half

1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese

Steps:

  • Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
