Ingredients
  

For the Fondue
  • 8 oz Gruyère Cheese This Swiss cheese melts beautifully, creating a rich texture.
  • 8 oz Emmental Cheese Adds a nutty flavor that balances well with Gruyère.
  • 1 cup White Wine A dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc enhances flavor.
  • 1 clove Garlic For a hint of aromatic depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Helps stabilize the melted cheese.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens the flavors with its acidity.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste, enhancing all the delicious flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate Gruyère and Emmental cheese to ensure even melting.
  2. In a medium pot, add minced garlic and white wine, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Gradually add the cheese by handfuls, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
  4. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with lemon juice, creating a slurry. Stir this into the melted cheese mixture.
  5. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired, then transfer to a fondue pot or heat-safe bowl to keep warm.

Notes

Store leftover fondue in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of white wine for creaminess. Experiment with different cheeses and dippers for a unique experience!
