This is great if you like the taste of fondue, but don't have a fondue pot! Very tasty appetizer. If you want to give this some more zing, just add about 1/8 t. of your favorite dried spice (dill, basil, oregano, cayenne, garlic, etc.) to the cheese mixture.

SWISS FONDUE
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.

Steps:
- Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
- Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.
- Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: A good quality cheese will melt smoothly and evenly, and will have a rich, flavorful taste. Look for a cheese that is specifically designed for fondue, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Appenzeller.
- Grate the cheese finely: Finely grated cheese will melt more quickly and evenly than large chunks of cheese. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the cheese.
- Use a dry white wine: A dry white wine will help to thin out the cheese and make it smooth and creamy. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will make the fondue too sweet.
- Season the fondue to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or paprika, if desired.
- Keep the fondue warm: Fondue is best served warm and melted. You can keep it warm by placing it in a fondue pot or by setting it over a low flame.
- Serve the fondue with bread, vegetables, and fruit: Fondue is traditionally served with bread, vegetables, and fruit. You can use any type of bread that you like, such as French bread, baguette, or sourdough. Vegetables that are good for fondue include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and celery. Fruits that are good for fondue include apples, pears, and grapes.
