Tweet
If you're planning to host a party but don't want to spend to much time preparing the food, why not serve a easy to make, fun and tasty cheese foundue?
Ingredients:
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 lb. Gruyere cheese, shredded (or 1/2 lb Gruyere + 1/2 lb Emmental cheese)
3 tbsp Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cup Dry white wine
1/4 tsp Freshly grated nutmeg
A splash or two of kirsch (opt)
Directions:
Toss the cheese with the flour. Rub the interior of a medium saucepan with the peeled garlic. Place over medium heat and add the wine. Bring to a simmer and add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time. Stir in the nutmeg.
Stir over low heat until smooth and cheese is melted and bubbling. Add a splash or two of kirsch (optional) and continue stirring until it starts to bubble just a bit. Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot and you are ready for dipping. Continue to stir frequently.
