Cheese Fondue
- 1/2 pound Emmental (Swiss cheese), coarsely grated (If you do not have a grater, the cheese can be sliced into thin strips.)
- 1/2 pound Gruyere, coarsely grated
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups any dry white wine
- 1 garlic clove, cut in 1/2
- 1 ounces Kirsch (cherry brandy)
- 1 loaf fresh crusty French, Italian, or sourdough bread, cut into bite-size chunks with 1 edge of crust on each bite
- Place cheese in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle flour, nutmeg, and pepper overtop, then toss thoroughly so that the flour evenly coats the cheese.
- Heat wine in a medium-size pot, over medium-high heat, until tiny bubbles begin to rise to the surface.
- Slowly add cheese to wine, allowing each handful to melt before adding another.
- When cheese is fully melted, add Kirsch.
- Rub the inside of the fondue pot with cut side of garlic clove.
- Transfer entire mess to the fondue pot and maintain flame hot enough to keep cheese melted but not boiling.
- Place fondue pot in the center of the table, along with bread, and let guests dive in.
- Recommended beverage: Fendant (Swiss white), or other dry crisp white wine
