Rolfs Original Swiss Cheese Fondue
- 1/2 pound Emmentaller cheese, grated
- 1/2 pound Le Gruyere cheese, grated
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon water
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf Italian or French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes with crust on one side
- In a bowl, combine the cheeses and put aside.
- Rub the inside of a large saucepan or casserole dish, with garlic and place the saucepan on low-medium heat.
- Add the wine, heat until warm, but not boiling!
- Add the cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted and cheese-wine mixture has the consistency of a creamy sauce.
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and then stir into the cheese.
- As the mixture thickens, let the mixture come to a boil once, before you remove the fondue pot and place it on a lighted burner on a table.
- Adjust flame of the burner so the fondue continues bubbling lightly.
- Place baskets of bread cubes onto the table.
- Take a handful of the bread cubes, sprinkle with black pepper and spear fondue fork through bread cubes.
- Dunk and stir well to bottom of pot.
- Serve with white wine or Kirsch to prevent getting that heavy cheese feeling!
- Other serving suggestions: cherry tomatoes, grapes, sliced ham and kielbasa.
