Swiss Cheese Fondue

  • 16 oz Gruyere Cheese
  • 12 oz Emmentaler Cheese
  • 1 cup Dry White Wine (such as Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon kirsch (optional)
  • 1 loaf of your favorite sourdough or crusty French bread

Instructions

  1. Rub the inside of the fondue dish with the cut side of a garlic clove, coating it with the garlic’s natural oils.
  2. In the fondue pot, mix the white wine and cornstarch, stirring well to dissolve the starch. Light the fondue burner and gently heat the wine.
  3. While the wine heats, shred the cheese using a box grater. Gradually add the shredded cheese to the wine, stirring until melted and smooth.
  4. If desired, finish the fondue with a splash of kirsch.
