Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound Emmentaller cheese, grated
1/2 pound Le Gruyere cheese, grated
1 clove garlic
2 cups dry white wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water
Freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf Italian or French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes with crust on one side

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the cheeses and put aside.
  • Rub the inside of a large saucepan or casserole dish, with garlic and place the saucepan on low-medium heat. Add the wine, heat until warm, but not boiling!
  • Add the cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted and cheese-wine mixture has the consistency of a creamy sauce.
  • Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and then stir into the cheese. As the mixture thickens, let the mixture come to a boil once, before you remove the fondue pot and place it on a lighted burner on a table. Adjust flame of the burner so the fondue continues bubbling lightly.
  • Place baskets of bread cubes onto the table. Take a handful of the bread cubes, sprinkle with black pepper and spear fondue fork through bread cubes. Dunk and stir well to bottom of pot.
  • Serve with white wine or Kirsch to prevent getting that heavy cheese feeling!
  • Other serving suggestions: cherry tomatoes, grapes, sliced ham and kielbasa.
