1/2 pound Gruyere, coarsely grated

1/2 pound Emmental, coarsely grated

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/2 garlic clove

2/3 cup dry white wine (Chardonnay is fine)

4 tablespoons Kirsch (dry cherry brandy)

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Freshly ground pepper

Dipping items of your choice, such as bread cubes or apples

Toss the 2 cheeses together with the cornstarch. Rub the inside of a heavy saucepan with the cut garlic clove. Add wine and 2 tablespoons kirsch and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cheese mixture, stirring, until mixture is hot and smooth.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons Kirsch if mixture is too thick. Season with nutmeg and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a fondue pot and serve immediately with dippers of choice.

Just like Switzerland!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Follow this recipe exact and it will make perfect Swiss fondue. I just replaced the Kirsch with a bit more wine and it came... out perfect - just like the kind on the mountains of Switzerland. (replaced the Kirsch to make it more appealing to the kids). My only tip - try dipping small boiled potatoes along with good French bread and apples.Read more

Hmm
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

There was not nearly enough liquid in this recipe. The fondue was extremely thick, but once I added more wine it came to a... good consistency. It was a hit after the mishaps were smoothed out.Read more

Melting Pot
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used to work at the Melting Pot and this is essentially their recipe for their swiss fondue. I've made it a number of... times and it is excellent. I would suggest not adding Kirsch at the end since it is quite strong and can make your have a strong alcohol flavor. As for dipping, we enjoy granny smith apples, lil smokies sausages, and the usual french bread cubes.Read more
