Ingredients

• 400 grams Gouda cheese
• 1 clove Garlic
• 240 ml Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Grate the Gouda cheese and set it aside. This helps it melt more evenly while cooking.

Step 2

Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Rub the inside of a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cut side of the garlic to infuse a subtle garlic flavor. Discard the garlic or leave it in for a stronger taste, depending on your preference.

Step 3

Pour the dry white wine into the pot and heat over medium-low heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the lemon juice to create a slurry. This will help thicken the fondue and prevent the cheese from separating.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Gouda to the pot, one handful at a time. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, ensuring each addition is melted before adding more.

Step 6

Once all the cheese is melted and smooth, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook while stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Season the fondue with nutmeg and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Keep the fondue warm over low heat or transfer it to a fondue pot with a warming element to serve. Enjoy with cubes of crusty bread, steamed vegetables, cooked meats, or any dippers of your choice.
