Artisanal's Cheese Fondue
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 1 cup Sauvignon Blanc
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 pound rindless Emmentaler, Gruyere, Beaufort, Comte and Appenzeller, coarsely shredded
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Vigorously rub the garlic clove all over the inside of a fondue pot or medium saucepan; discard the garlic.
- Add the wine and lemon juice to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
- In a bowl, toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch.
- When the wine boils, gradually add the cheese by the handful, whisking constantly until it is fully melted before adding more.
- Once all of the cheese has been incorporated, simmer the fondue over moderate heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, with cubes of crusty peasant bread, boiled fingerling potatoes, cornichons or sauteed beef tips.
