Steps:
- Place the Cheddar, Gruyere and Swiss cheeses into a large zip-top bag along with the flour. Shake well to coat.
- Bring the Sauvignon Blanc to a boil in a large saucepan, then reduce to a simmer. Whisk in the cheese 1/2 cup at a time, making sure the cheese melts before each addition. Add the butter and malt vinegar, then reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to keep warm.
- Using a chef knife, microplane zester or handheld press, crush the garlic into a paste, reserving the juices. Rub all over the inside of a fondue pot to coat well. If there is any excess garlic paste, toss it into the saucepan and whisk it in.
- Pour the fondue into the prepared pot and serve immediately with sliced apples and pears, roasted potatoes, chunks of fresh bread or whatever else you feel like dunking in a big vat of melted cheese.
BEST FORMULA THREE-CHEESE FONDUE
We tried a couple of recipes; this was voted the best! The Gruyere gives a very sweet and nutty flavour to the fondue, the sharp Cheddar makes it tangy, and the Emmentaler blends it all. Cooking the flour first helps the mixture not to be so pasty and powdery.

Steps:
- Simmer the tomato juice, lemon and soup mix for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, melting between each handful.
- When it is all melted you are done.
- We always use bread but you could use veggies or meat.
- It can be a bit salty so I think that is why bread works best.
- Also if you use a brand name onion soup mix I think its less likely to be too salty.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A blend of Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller is a classic choice.
- Grate the cheese yourself for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Use dry white wine for the fondue. Avoid using red wine, as it can make the fondue bitter.
- Add a little cornstarch to the fondue to help it thicken. This is especially important if you are using a cheese that does not melt very well.
- Keep the fondue warm over a low flame. If the fondue gets too hot, it can curdle.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread, vegetables, and fruit.
- For the tomato-onion chutney, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the tomatoes and onions. This will help prevent them from becoming mushy in the chutney.
- Simmer the chutney for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened and caramelized.
- Serve the chutney with the fondue, or use it as a condiment for other dishes.
Conclusion:
Three-cheese fondue with tomato-onion chutney is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. The fondue is rich and creamy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the cheese. The chutney is sweet and savory, with a hint of spice. Together, they make a perfect pair that is sure to please everyone at your table.
