Ingredients
- •- 1 lb sharp aged cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- •- 1/2 lb Emmentaler Swiss cheese, finely shredded
- •- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- •- 1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc preferred)
- •- 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- •- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- •- 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
- •- 1/8 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
- •- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- 11. Toss grated cheeses with cornstarch in a large bowl until evenly coated.
- 22. Heat white wine in a heavy-bottomed fondue pot or enameled cast-iron pan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
- 33. Gradually add cheese mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight motion. Incorporate cheese slowly to prevent clumping.
- 44. Continue stirring until cheese melts completely and creates a smooth, velvety texture, about 5-7 minutes.
- 55. Stir in lemon juice, white pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- 66. Transfer to a heated fondue pot, maintaining low, consistent heat.
