Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces Gruyere cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 3/4 cups)
4 ounces aged Emmental cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 1/3 cups medium-bodied white wine, such as Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc
1 tablespoon kirsch (cherry brandy)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups), for serving

Steps:

  • Toss cheeses in a medium bowl with flour, cayenne pepper, and white pepper to coat, and set aside. Heat wine in a fondue pot over medium heat until it starts to bubble, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in cheese mixture, a little at a time. Stir in kirsch. Continue to cook, stirring, until cheese has melted, 6 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. The mixture should be smooth and almost bubbling. Transfer pot to its stand set over a burner for up to 1 hour. Serve immediately with bread.
