Cheese Fondue
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 tablespoon cherry brandy
  • 1 clove garlic, slightly crushed
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese
Instructions
1
Combine white wine, cherry brandy, minced garlic clove, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a few grinds of nutmeg in a saucepan. Whisk to merge the ingredients seamlessly and position the pan over medium heat on your stovetop.
2
Heat will cause the mixture to start thickening and you'll notice wisps of steam rising from the pan, which is a clear indication that it's almost ready. Allow the mixture to cook for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent lumps from forming.
3
Gradually introduce the Gruyère and Emmentaler cheeses, adding handful after handful until they're fully incorporated. Whisk continuously to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the sauce becomes silky smooth.
4
Once all the cheese has been incorporated, remove the pan from the heat source and transfer the sauce to a fondue pot. This will allow you to serve the cheese sauce in its most appealing form.
5
To maintain the sauce's warm and fluid consistency, keep it simmering gently while serving. This will prevent it from solidifying into an unappealing mass, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for your guests.
