Ingredients

1/2 pound Emmentaller cheese, grated
1/2 pound Le Gruyere cheese, grated
1 clove garlic
2 cups dry white wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water
Freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf Italian or French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes with crust on one side

Directions

In a bowl, combine the cheeses and put aside.

Rub the inside of a large saucepan or casserole dish, with garlic and place the saucepan on low-medium heat. Add the wine, heat until warm, but not boiling!

Add the cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted and cheese-wine mixture has the consistency of a creamy sauce.

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and then stir into the cheese. As the mixture thickens, let the mixture come to a boil once, before you remove the fondue pot and place it on a lighted burner on a table. Adjust flame of the burner so the fondue continues bubbling lightly.

Place baskets of bread cubes onto the table. Take a handful of the bread cubes, sprinkle with black pepper and spear fondue fork through bread cubes. Dunk and stir well to bottom of pot.

Serve with white wine or Kirsch to prevent getting that heavy cheese feeling!

Other serving suggestions: cherry tomatoes, grapes, sliced ham and kielbasa.

Awful recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I wish I had been smart enough to read the previous comments before I made this recipe because it ruined our Valentine's Day... dinner. I will echo what has been said before - too much wine, a huge clump of cheese in the middle and just a general mess. DON'T waste the time or money on this recipe!Read more

Horrible Fondue Recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The two cheeses never blend with the wine. You end up with a half coagulated blob of cheese sitting under a pool of hot wine.... The wine is so hot that it will saturate the bread and pull it off of the fondue fork. Does anyone from Food Network test the recipes their hack chefs put up on this site?Read more

Too much Wine
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Way too much wine in this fondue recipe! Next time I make it I will most likely use 1/2 cup of white wine or possbily replace... the wine with 1/2 cup chicken broth. The cheeses Danny recommended were very deilicious!Read more
