Description
This Swiss Cheese Fondue is a classic for a reason. Traditionally enjoyed in Switzerland during the winter, the warm, melty cheese is the perfect accompaniment for bread, potatoes, and so much more. Make your own pot of fondue for a holiday party, a New Year's celebration, or to celebrate any special occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Swiss cheese, shredded
- ½ pound Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (for serving)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, garlic powder and cornstarch. Toss well to coat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan or fondue pot, heat wine over medium heat and bring it to a simmer.
- Gradually stir in cheese mixture, one cup at a time. Mix constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Once the melted mixture is smooth, stir in lemon juice and nutmeg.
- Serve the fondue in a fondue pot with cubed french bread.
Notes
How to store: Let your leftover cheese cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
How to reheat: Add the leftover cheese to a small pan on the stove and stir in a splash of milk. Let the cheese warm up until it is soft and creamy again.
How to freeze: Although you can freeze fondue, the cheese will likely become grainy after thawing. It's best to serve it freshly melted or reheated from the fridge.
