Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons basil, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 loaf baguette, cubed (optional)
• 2 cups assorted raw vegetables (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, breaking the tomatoes down slightly with a spoon.

Step 3

Pour in the dry white wine, stir well, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

While the tomato mixture is simmering, toss the shredded Gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese with the cornstarch in a separate bowl. This will help thicken the fondue and prevent clumping.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Allow the cheese to melt completely and form a creamy texture.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch together to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the fondue to help it thicken further if needed.

Step 7

Stir in the finely chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

Step 8

Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or serving dish over a heat source to keep it warm.

Step 9

Serve with cubed baguette, assorted raw vegetables, or your favorite dipping items. Enjoy immediately!
