1 1/2 c water
1/2 c white chablis wine
1 Tbsp butter or margarine
2 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 dash(es) nutmeg
2 lb processed swiss & american cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Use a combination of cheeses that melt well and have a good flavor. Some good options include Gruyère, Emmental, Swiss, and cheddar.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Cook the cheese over low heat: This will help prevent it from curdling.
  • Stir the cheese constantly: This will help prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Add a splash of white wine or Kirschwasser: This will add flavor and help the cheese melt smoothly.
  • Season the fondue to taste: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options: Some good options include bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
