BEST FORMULA THREE-CHEESE FONDUE



Best Formula Three-Cheese Fondue image

We tried a couple of recipes; this was voted the best! The Gruyere gives a very sweet and nutty flavour to the fondue, the sharp Cheddar makes it tangy, and the Emmentaler blends it all. Cooking the flour first helps the mixture not to be so pasty and powdery.

Get together with friends around the ultimate sharing dish - a classic cheese fondue. Enjoy with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, crudités and pickles

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g comte or gruyère, grated
200g emmental, grated
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp kirsch or schnapps
1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités and cornichons, to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
  • Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.

  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from scorching.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat: This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Add the wine or broth gradually: This will help to prevent the fondue from becoming too thin or watery.
  • Season the fondue to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the fondue immediately: Fondue is best enjoyed hot and melted.
