Description

Try this easy, simple, and foolproof fondue recipe for making the ultimate cheese lover's dish and serve up some fondue like a Swiss guru!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1 tablespoon cherry brandy
1 clove garlic, slightly crushed
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese

Directions

1 Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
2 Add Gruyère and Emmentaler cheeses, one handful at a time, slowly whisking after each addition until melted. Continue whisking until all cheese is melted and sauce is very smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot to serve.
3 Keep sauce warm while serving so it doesn't solidify.
