Tips:
- Use a fondue pot or a small saucepan to melt the cheese. A fondue pot will keep the cheese warm and melted throughout the meal, while a saucepan can be used if you do not have a fondue pot.
- Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt more quickly and smoothly.
- Use a dry white wine for the fondue. A dry white wine will not overpower the flavor of the cheese.
- Add a little cornstarch or flour to the fondue to help it thicken. This is especially important if you are using a low-fat cheese.
- Season the fondue to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options, such as bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
- Keep the fondue warm over a low flame or in a fondue pot.
