Classic Swiss Fondue

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound grated Emmental
  • 1/2 pound grated Gruyere
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 cups dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • Pepper and nutmeg to taste
  • Dash of Kirsch
  • 2 loaves French bread cut into 1-inch cubes with crust on one side

Instructions

Combine Emmental and Gruyere and sprinkle with flour (this can be done in a plastic bag).

Rub inside of fondue pot with cut garlic clove. Pour wine into pot and heat over medium heat until warm, not boiling! Add lemon juice. Add cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted and cheese-wine mixture has the consistency of a creamy sauce. Add pepper and nutmeg to taste and Kirsch. Let boil once. Remove pot and put on lighted burner on table. Adjust flame of burner so fondue continues bubbling lightly.

Serve each guest a handful of bread cubes.
