Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch nutmeg
Assorted dippers

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
  • Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.
  • Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!

1 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup flour

2 1/2 cups white wine
3 tablespoons tequila
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, chopped (use the seeds too for an extra kick)

  • Rub inside of fondue pot with garlic. Discard garlic.
  • Add wine and tequila to pot and warm over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your fondue. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that you enjoy.
  • Shred the cheese yourself: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding the cheese yourself will ensure that it melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from scorching.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat: Fondue should be cooked over low heat so that it has time to melt slowly and evenly. Cooking it over high heat will make it more likely to curdle.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: Stirring the fondue constantly will help to prevent it from scorching and will also help to incorporate the cheese and other ingredients evenly.
  • Add your favorite dippers: Fondue is a great way to enjoy a variety of different foods. Some popular dippers include bread, vegetables, fruit, and meat.
