Ingredients

2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp cornflour
250g cheddar , grated
250g gruyère , grated
3 tbsp crème fraîche
4 thick slices bread , such as sourdough, chopped into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
2 carrots , cut into batons
2 peppers , deseeded and cut into strips
2 celery sticks, thickly sliced
200g pack mini salami or 1 thin salami cut into bite-size chunks

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the vinegar with the cornflour and place in a heatproof bowl with the cheeses. Set over a pan of boiling water. Slowly melt the cheese, stirring occasionally. When it's nearly melted, add the crème fraîche and a little black pepper, if you like. Lower the heat and keep warm.
To make croutons, toss the bread in the oil and a little seasoning on a baking sheet, then bake for 10-15 mins until golden and crisp.
To serve, put the cheese fondue on a large platter and arrange the croutons, veg and salamis alongside it.
