SWISS CHEESE FONDUE RECIPE



Swiss Cheese Fondue Recipe image

Provided by What's Cooking America

Categories     Appetizer

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
1 cup dry white wine
3 to 4 large cloves garlic, (minced)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (2-pound) loaf processed Swiss Cheese or White American Cheese (shredded*)
Petite rye bread (slices, French or sourdough bread, cut into bite-sized cubes)
* Found in the deli section of some grocery stores. This processed cheese makes a very smooth fondue. If you cannot find this processed cheese in a one-pound block, buy it in slices then dice it with a knife into small cubes. Have cheese at room temperature before using in the recipe. Remember - don't use normal Swiss cheese, use only processed.
Gruyere cheese is also a good melting cheese alternative.

Steps:

  • In the top pan of a double boiler over hot water, combine water, white wine, garlic, butter, white pepper, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. You must use a double boil or the cheese will burn.
  • Add shredded cheese (a cup or so at a time), stirring continuously, until the cheese melts into a smooth, heavy sauce. Additional wine may be added if the cheese mixture is too smooth. Remove from heat. NOTE: You may add more cheese or wine, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.
  • To serve, pour prepared fondue in a previously heated heavy fondue pot. I have found, through experience and many different fondue pot over the years, that the electric fondue pots work the best. You sill have to watch that the pots don't get too hot. If you don't have a fondue pot, you could use a small crock pot or slow cooker instead.
  • Serve immediately with bread slices or bread cubes for dipping with wooden picks or fondue forks for dipping. We like to serve this fondue with dark rye bread.
  • Keep the fondue warm over as low heat as possible to avoid scorching the cheese.
  • Serve the same dry white wine that you use for the fondue as a refreshment for your guest. Serves Many!

HORST MAGER'S CHEESE FONDUE



Horst Mager's Cheese Fondue image

In Portland, Oregon, just off of Sandy Boulevard, there's a wonderful little German restaurant which has served some of the most delightful food for years. Included in the appetizers is a small portion of some incredible cheese fondue, served with various white and rye breads. Once upon a time, this restaurant's chef would actually give out his most popular recipes to anyone interested. Here for digital preservation is his fondue recipe. Preparation Notes: while you might be tempted to use some finer cheese varieties, don't - it is important to use processed cheese. Accent seasoning is MSG; if you have allergies to or reservations about it, omitting it has little effect on the final product. A double boiler is required to prevent the cheese from burning. Have fun!
