  • 8 oz (225g) Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 8 oz (225g) Emmental cheese, grated

👨‍🍳 How to Make Swiss Cheese Fondue

Step 1: Prep the Pot

Rub the inside of a fondue pot (or heavy saucepan) with the halved garlic clove. This adds subtle flavor to the base.

Step 2: Heat the Wine

Pour in the white wine and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

In a separate bowl, toss grated cheeses with cornstarch. Gradually add cheese to the hot wine, stirring constantly in a zigzag (not circular) motion until melted and smooth.

Step 4: Finish the Fondue

Stir in lemon juice and kirsch. Season with pepper and a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Lower the heat and transfer to a fondue burner or serve immediately.
