Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup hot water
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 cups Sauvignon Blanc or other dry white wine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (about 2 packed cups)
8 ounces coarsely grated Emmenthal cheese (about 2 packed cups)
1 1-pound loaf ciabatta or other rustic bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 pounds 1/4-inch-thick ham slices, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup hot water in small bowl; add dried porcini. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 25 minutes. Remove mushrooms from water with slotted spoon; finely chop. Transfer soaking liquid to large skillet, leaving sediment behind. Add garlic and chopped mushrooms. Simmer over medium heat until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place fondue pot onto stand; light candle or Sterno. Mix 1 tablespoon wine and cornstarch in small bowl. Bring remaining 1 1/4 cups wine to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cheeses by small handfuls, stirring until melted. Add cornstarch mixture. Bring to simmer. Stir until fondue thickens slightly and begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with pepper.
  • Pour fondue into prepared pot. Swirl in porcini mushrooms. Serve with ciabatta and ham for dipping.

This fondue is not for the faint of heart. It's rich and cheesy, but it's also very filling.

I found that the fondue was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add a little more milk or white wine next time.

This fondue was a hit at our dinner party! The porcini mushrooms gave it a rich, earthy flavor, and the ham and ciabatta added a nice salty and crunchy contrast.
