Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

8 ounces raclette or Swiss cheese, grated
8 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup sauvignon blanc or other dry white wine
1 clove garlic, pressed
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon kirsch
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
Crusty Bread, recipe follows, for serving
2 Granny Smith apples, sliced, for serving
2 pears, sliced, for serving
1 loaf crusty bread

Steps:

Combine the raclette and Gruyere in a bowl and add the cornstarch. Toss well to coat the cheeses in the cornstarch; set aside.
In a pot over medium heat, warm the wine, garlic and lemon zest. Do not allow this to come to a boil or the fondue may be grainy in the end.
Slowly add the cheese mix a handful at a time, stirring and allowing each handful to melt completely before adding the next. Repeat until all the cheese is in the pot. Once completely smooth, stir in the kirsch, pepper and mustard. Pour the mixture into a fondue pot with a burner underneath to keep warm. Serve with Crusty Bread, apples and pears.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the loaf of bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes to crisp. Allow to cool, then tear into chunks for serving. Set aside.

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, halved lengthwise
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 lb raclette cheese, coarsely grated
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
1 baguette, cubed
apple, slices
broccoli, pieces

Steps:

Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard or set aside garlic. Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat. (You may as well enjoy a glass at this time.).
Mix cornstarch with shredded cheese and gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zig zag pattern (rather than circular motion) until cheese is melted and creamy. Don't let the cheese boil if you can help it.
If the fondue is still lumpy after the cheese melts, adding a few drops of lemon juice will help.
Bring fondue to simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
Transfer to fondue pot. Good dipping options are bread cubes, potatoes, broccoli, or apple slices.
