Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated) Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup (grated) Emmental cheese
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 clove (halved) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon (grated or ground) Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground, optional) Black pepper
• 4 cups (chopped or sliced) French bread, vegetables, or fruit for dipping

Directions

Step 1

Grate the Gruyère and Emmental cheeses and set aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of the wine until smooth, creating a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Rub the inside of a heavy-bottomed pot or fondue pot with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Discard the garlic once the pot is coated with its aroma.

Step 4

Pour the white wine into the pot and heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Gradually add the grated cheeses to the pot, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula in a figure-eight motion. Ensure the cheese melts evenly and creates a smooth, creamy mixture.

Step 6

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and lemon juice to help stabilize the cheese mixture. Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the fondue is thickened and bubbling gently.

Step 7

Season with grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 8

Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot over a low flame or warming stand to keep it warm. Serve immediately with dippers like cubes of French bread, steamed vegetables, or sliced fruits.

Step 9

Stir occasionally while serving to maintain the smooth texture and prevent separation.
