Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
• 1 cup Emmental cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Bread cubes, for dipping
• 2 cups Assorted vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers), for dipping

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced shallots and garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through, but do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the grated Gruyère and Emmental cheeses with the cornstarch to coat evenly. This will help prevent clumping.

Step 7

Gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, one handful at a time, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Add the freshly grated nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and allow the fondue to stay warm. Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from separating.

Step 10

Transfer the fondue mixture to a fondue pot or heatproof bowl placed over a flame or warming base to keep it warm.

Step 11

Serve immediately with bread cubes, assorted vegetables, or your preferred dippers.
