Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch nutmeg
Assorted dippers

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
  • Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.

Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Grate the cheese: Grating the cheese will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Cook the fondue slowly: Don't rush the process of cooking the fondue. Cook it over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is melted and smooth.
  • Add cornstarch or flour to thicken the fondue: If you find that your fondue is too thin, you can add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it. Just be sure to whisk it in slowly so that it doesn't clump.
  • Season the fondue to taste: Once the fondue is melted, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs, such as chives or parsley, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping items: Fondue is a great dish for sharing, so serve it with a variety of dipping items, such as bread, vegetables, and meat.
