Ingredients

• 400 grams Havarti cheese
• 240 ml Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 loaf or assortment Baguette or dipping items of choice (vegetables, apples, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Grate the Havarti cheese and set aside. This ensures it melts evenly in the fondue.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of white wine until it forms a smooth slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Rub the inside of a fondue pot or a medium-sized saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic to infuse the garlic flavor, then discard the garlic clove.

Step 4

Place the fondue pot or saucepan over medium-low heat and pour in the remaining white wine. Gently heat until the wine is warm but not boiling.

Step 5

Slowly add the grated Havarti cheese to the warm wine, a handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until melted.

Step 6

Once all the cheese has melted, stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice, ground white pepper, and nutmeg, stirring to combine well. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the fondue to a tabletop fondue pot with a heat source (such as a burner or tea light) to keep it warm, or serve directly from the saucepan if eating immediately.

Step 9

Serve the Havarti fondue with your choice of dipping items such as cubes of baguette, steamed or blanched vegetables, apple slices, or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
