Snacks and Light Meals Recipes - Swiss Cheese Fondue Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-6

  • 1 garlic clove, halved

  • 150 ml/1/4 pint dry white wine

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 175 g/6 oz Gruyere cheese, grated

  • 175 g/6 oz Emmental cheese, grated

  • 1 teaspoon corn flour

  • 2 tablespoons kirsch

  • pepper

  • grated nutmeg

  • day-old French bread, cut into bite-sized cubes, to serve

Method:

  1. Rub the inside of a fondue dish with the cut garlic. Pour in the wine and lemon juice, and heat gently until bubbling.

  2. Gradually stir in the cheeses and heat slowly, stirring, until the cheeses melt and begin to cook.

  3. Blend the corn flour with the kirsch. Add to the cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Add pepper and nutmeg to taste.

  4. Place over a spirit burner and keep at a simmer. Use long fondue forks to dip the bread cubes into the hot fondue.
