Classic Swiss Three-Cheese Fondue image

From "Fondue: Great Food To Dip, Dunk, Savor, and Swirl", by Rick Rodgers. My husband makes this and I make the wheat-free bread and we also dip red and green apples. Other dippers could be boneless cooked chicken cubes, cooked garlic sausage or knockwurst, boiled new potatoes, blanched asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower.

This fondue was a little too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding a little bit of white wine next time.

I had some trouble getting the fondue to melt smoothly. I ended up having to add a little bit of milk.

This fondue was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using a lighter cheese next time.
