My family is Swiss, so cheese fondue is a big tradition for birthdays. Made with the best cheese and served with pickled onions and cornichons, it simply doesn't get better!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 baby red potatoes
2 quarts water, or amount to cover
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons kirsch liqueur
3 cups dry white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound Emmentaler cheese, shredded
1 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 loaves baguette-style French bread, cut into cubes
1 (16 ounce) jar pickled pearl onions, drained
1 (12 ounce) jar pickled cornichons

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot with enough water to cover; stir in salt. Bring the water to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes, and set aside.
  • Stir the cornstarch and kirsch liqueur together in a small bowl until it forms a paste; set aside.
  • Combine the white wine and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the Emmentaler and Gruyere cheese, about 1/2 cup at a time, allowing each batch to melt before mixing in the next. Stir in a random pattern to prevent cheese from clumping into a ball. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and nutmeg to the cheese sauce; stir and cook at a simmer until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot. Serve with the cooked red potatoes and French bread for dipping; garnish with pearl onions and cornichons.

The cheese fondue was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The cheese fondue was grainy and bland.
