Ingredients

• 2 cups Fontina cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Provolone cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 cups Crusty Italian bread, cubed (for dipping)
• 2 cups Steamed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, optional)
• 1 cup Cured meats (e.g., salami, prosciutto, optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the cheeses by shredding the Fontina and Provolone, and grating the Parmesan. Toss all the cheeses together in a bowl with the cornstarch to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 2

2. In a medium saucepan, heat the dry white wine over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

3. Add the minced garlic to the wine and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

4. Gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow each addition to melt completely before adding the next handful.

Step 5

5. Once all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the Italian seasoning and ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to low to keep the fondue warm.

Step 6

6. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or heat-safe dish to keep warm while serving.

Step 7

7. Arrange the cubed Italian bread, steamed vegetables, and cured meats on a platter for dipping. Serve immediately and enjoy!
