Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese blend. A combination of Swiss, Gruyère, and Emmental cheeses is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses, such as Cheddar, Gouda, or Fontina.
- Shred the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
- Add a little cornstarch to the cheese blend. This will help to thicken the fondue and prevent it from becoming too runny.
- Use a dry white wine. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good choices.
- Don't boil the wine. Just heat it until it is simmering.
- Add the cheese to the wine slowly, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
- Keep the fondue warm over low heat. You can use a fondue pot or a slow cooker.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
