Categories     Sauce     Cheese

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 oz imported Swiss cheese, shredded
5 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 T vodka
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 and leave it in the pot. Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove the garlic. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in vodka, mustard and nutmeg. Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!
