Traditional Swiss fondue is so easy to make. 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 using Gruyère and Emmental cheeses. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can find it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a nice kick. Enjoy with your favorite bread, boiled baby potatoes, cornichons, and pickled onions.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups shredded Gruyère cheese: 2 piece
  • ½ cups shredded Emmental cheese: 2 piece
  • cornstarch: 2 Tbsp
  • clove garlic: 1 piece (halved)
  • ½ cups dry white wine: 1 piece
  • French bread: 1 piece (8 inch, cubed)
  • baby potatoes: 1 pound (cooked)
  • cornichons: 1 cup
  • pickled pearl onions: 1 cup

  2. 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. Recipe Tip If your fondue is too thick, add additional wine, 2 tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 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.
