1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere (6 ounces, 180 g)
1 1/2 cups shredded emmenthaler cheese (6 ounces, 180 g)
1/2 cup shredded Appenzeller cheese (2 ounces, 60 g)
2 -3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 dash kirsch, a swiss liquor (optional)

  • Add the wine and heat over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.

Steps:

  • Leave the garlic cloves whole and warm together with the white wine in a large heavy cast iron saucepan or cheese fondue pan. Do not boil.
  • Grate the cheese and sprinkle with the flour. Mix it well and add to the pan.
  • Stir well until the cheese is melted.
  • Mix the kirsch with the bicarbonate of soda and add to the cheese at the end of cooking.
  • Serve with crusty baguette sliced into 3cm slices and quartered. Keep the pan on a low heat to ensure the cheese remains melted. Don't drink beer with fondue!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help the cheese to melt smoothly and evenly.
  • Use a dry white wine: A dry white wine will help to balance out the richness of the cheese.
  • Add the cheese gradually: Adding the cheese gradually will help to prevent it from clumping.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: Stirring the fondue constantly will help to prevent it from burning and will also help to incorporate the cheese and wine evenly.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers for fondue include bread, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to entertain guests or to simply enjoy a cozy meal at home. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect fondue that your friends and family will love.
