Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces gruyere cheese
4 ounces swiss cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 ounces brie cheese
1 cup champagne
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 dash ground nutmeg
apple, slices (optional)
French bread cubes (optional)
breadstick (optional)

Steps:

  • Shred Gruyere and Swiss cheeses using a hand grater to keep the cheese loose. Add cornstarch and toss to coat cheese. Remove rind from brie and cut into small cubes.
  • In a heavy 3-quart saucepan on medium heat bring champagne just to a simmer but do not boil. Reduce heat to low.
  • Add shredded cheeses and brie gradually stirring constantly until cheese is melted. Add almond extract and nutmeg.
  • Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Do not boil.
  • Serve in a fondue pot if you have one or keep warm over a canned heat burner or even a small crock pot set to low. Try apple slices and bread cubes for dipping or any item of your choosing.
