Cheese Fondue with Wine and Bread

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Gruyère cheese
• 8 ounces Emmental cheese
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 loaf crusty bread
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

1. 1

   Rub the inside of a heavy pot with the 1 garlic clove, then discard the clove. Add 1 cup white wine and 1 tsp lemon juice and heat over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Toss the 8 oz Gruyère and 8 oz Emmental with 1 tbsp cornstarch in a bowl until the cheese is coated.

3. 3

   Gradually add the cheese mixture to the hot wine, a handful at a time, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern until each addition melts, about 5 minutes total.

4. 4

   Stir in 0.25 tsp nutmeg and continue cooking over medium-low, stirring, until the fondue is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes, leaving some crust on each. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or serving bowl and keep warm over a low flame.

6. 6

   Spear a bread cube with a fondue fork and dip it into the cheese, swirling to coat. Enjoy immediately, stirring occasionally to keep the fondue smooth.
