SWISS FONDUE



Swiss Fondue image

My husband grew up in Switzerland and it's there where I truly began to appreciate fondue. There are many variations of fondue in Switzerland, but this is the most common version. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can get your hands on it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a fortifying kick.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
2 ½ cups shredded Emmental cheese
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 ½ cups dry white wine
1 (8 inch) French bread, cubed
1 pound new potatoes, raw; baby potatoes
1 cup cornichons, finely chopped
1 cup pickled pearl onions

  • Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.

CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE



Classic Cheese Fondue image

This traditional Swiss fondue - the sort you might have encountered in an Alpine ski lodge circa 1972 - calls for an equal amount of Gruyère cheese, for its depth of flavor, and Emmenthaler, for its supple texture; a shot of kirsch, for its cherry aroma and alcoholic oomph; and a little garlic, for bite. It takes all of 15 minutes, and will emerge as magnificently creamy, smooth and velvety as custard, but with a funky, deep flavor that dazzlingly enriches anything you dunk in the pot: bread cubes, apple slices, clementine sections, nuggets of salami, pretzels, tofu. It is even marvelous spooned onto a romaine lettuce salad in place of dressing.
