Ingredients

1 pound Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
8 ounces Emmentaler cheese, coarsely grated
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, halved
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, preferably Neuchatel
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons kirsch, if desired
Freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg, pinch

Directions

In a large bowl combine the cheeses and cornstarch and toss to coat. Rub the inside of a heavy saucepan with the garlic and discard the garlic. Add the wine and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the cheese mixture gradually over moderate heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the kirsch, if desired. Season with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer mixture for 2-3 minutes and transfer to a fondue stand set over a low flame. Serve immediately, taking care to remember to continually stir the fondue to prevent it from separating.

Easy and Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was outstanding. Very easy to make (first timer making fondue) and it rolled right out of the pan and into my... fondue pot. The consistency was smooth and stayed that way until I stopped stirring for a while.Read more

Not Impressed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It tasted okay, but was a little soupy. Would try again with a different type of cheese and something other than wine.

This did not work for me. The taste was great but the texture was awful.
