Cheese Fondue Recipe

Fondue is a popular melted cheese dish created in Switzerland and France. The melted cheese is served in a large pot and kept warm. This allows everyone to take a long-stemmed fork or other utensil and dip bread into the mixture for eating. In the 1930s, the Swiss Cheese Union promoted it as a national dish and fondue became very popular in the 1960s in the United States. Many cheese fondue recipes are currently available.

Many individuals enjoy eating cheese fondue.

This is a simple fondue recipe for individuals that are looking to try fondue or want something easy to prepare for a party.  Be sure to have the proper ingredients and equipment on hand when you make this dish.
The ingredients that you will need for the fondue recipe are in order of how they will be used.  You need:

• 2 garlic cloves,
• more than 1 cup dry white wine,
• 1 tbsp lemon juice,
• over a pound of shredded cheeses, in this case Gruyere and Emmenthaler  at a half pound each,
• 2 tbsp Kirsch,
• 1 tbsp cornstarch,
• half tbsp nutmeg,
• a half tbsp paprika and pepper to taste.

When gathering your ingredients for this, it is good to have more wine and cheese than the recipe calls for, so if more needs to be added to thin or thicken the cheese you have it readily on hand.

Taking your fondue pot you will rub the cut garlic cloves on the inside of the pot.  Then, you will put the wine and lemon juice together into the pot with the burner on.  Before they are able to come to a boil, you will reduce the heat and then add the cheeses.  You will then mix this well with a wooden spoon.  Put the cornstarch into the Kirsch.  Add this mixture along with the nutmeg and paprika.  Then pepper it to your taste.  Make sure to continue mixing throughout after adding the cheese so that it does not burn or clump up.  If you find that it very thin, you are able to add more cheese to it, which is why it can be helpful to have more than one pound waiting.  If the opposite is true, then you should be sure to add more white wine.  Then it is ready for items that you have to dip into it, such as bread, steak cubes, cut veggies and more.
The great thing about this fondue recipe is that you are able to experiment with what dry white wine you will use and can even try different cheeses.  Have a lot of fun with this recipe when you are home alone wanting to try something new or looking for something fun to enjoy with friends.  This simple recipe can get you started.
