Swiss Alps Cheese Fondue
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
1 garlic clove, peeled
250g Emmental cheese, grated
250g Swiss Gruyère cheese, grated
300ml white wine
1 tsp cornflour
2 tsp kirsch (optional)
Nutmeg, to grate
To serve
Sourdough bread, cubed
Pickles
METHOD:
1. Rub the inside of a cheese fondue pot or medium cast-iron casserole with the garlic clove; discard the garlic.
2. Combine the grated Gruyère and Emmental cheese with the wine, cornflour in the fondue pot and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses begin to melt, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the kirsch if using and a generous pinch of grated fresh nutmeg and cook, stirring gently, until creamy and smooth, about 10 minutes; don't overcook the fondue or it will get stringy.
4. Serve at once with cubed bread and pickles.
