Ingredients

• 300 grams Gruyère cheese
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 120 milliliters Dry white wine
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 400 grams Bread cubes or vegetables (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Grate the Gruyère cheese and toss it with cornstarch in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel the clove of garlic, cut it in half, and rub the inside of the microwave-safe bowl with the cut sides of the garlic to infuse a mild garlic flavor. Discard the garlic.

Step 3

Add the dry white wine and lemon juice to the bowl with the cheese mixture.

Step 4

Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly to combine. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth (approximately 3-5 minutes in total).

Step 5

Stir in nutmeg and black pepper for seasoning. Adjust seasoning if needed, to taste.

Step 6

Serve immediately with bread cubes, vegetables, or crackers for dipping. Keep the fondue warm by reheating in 15-second intervals as needed.
