SWISS FONDUE



Swiss Fondue image

My husband grew up in Switzerland and it's there where I truly began to appreciate fondue. There are many variations of fondue in Switzerland, but this is the most common version. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can get your hands on it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a fortifying kick.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
2 ½ cups shredded Emmental cheese
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, halved
1 ½ cups dry white wine
1 (8 inch) French bread, cubed
1 pound new potatoes, raw; baby potatoes
1 cup cornichons, finely chopped
1 cup pickled pearl onions

Steps:

  • Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.
  • Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.

1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere (6 ounces, 180 g)
1 1/2 cups shredded emmenthaler cheese (6 ounces, 180 g)
1/2 cup shredded Appenzeller cheese (2 ounces, 60 g)

1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 dash kirsch, a swiss liquor (optional)
fresh ground pepper, to taste

  • Add the wine and heat over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.

  • Remove the pot from the heat and place over an alcohol safety burner on the table.

  • Serve with plenty of crusty bread cubes.

Tips:

- To ensure a smooth and creamy fondue, use high-quality Swiss cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Appenzeller. - Finely grate the cheese to help it melt evenly and quickly. - Use a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably. - Be sure to stir the fondue frequently while it is cooking in the microwave to prevent it from scorching. - If you want a boozy fondue, add a splash of white wine or kirschwasser along with the cornstarch and milk. - To serve, keep the fondue warm in a fondue pot or chafing dish over a low flame, or return it to the microwave for short bursts as needed. - Accompany the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.
