Ingredients
12 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 clove garlic, halved
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions
- Toss the cheeses with the flour in a bowl. Rub the inside of a saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic; discard the garlic.
