Almond Champagne Fondue

• 8 ounces gruyere cheese
• 4 ounces swiss cheese
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 5 ounces brie cheese
• 1 cup champagne
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• Dippers you may like
• apple, slices (optional)
• French bread cubes (optional)
• breadstick (optional)

1. Shred Gruyere and Swiss cheeses using a hand grater to keep the cheese loose. Add cornstarch and toss to coat cheese. Remove rind from brie and cut into small cubes.
2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan on medium heat bring champagne just to a simmer but do not boil. Reduce heat to low.
3. Add shredded cheeses and brie gradually stirring constantly until cheese is melted. Add almond extract and nutmeg.
4. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Do not boil.
5. Serve in a fondue pot if you have one or keep warm over a canned heat burner or even a small crock pot set to low. Try apple slices and bread cubes for dipping or any item of your choosing.
