Cheese Fondue

This classic cheese fondue recipe is easy and sure to impress guests.

Ingredients:
1 pound firm Alpine-style cheese, such as our Tomma Alpina
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

Method:
1. Grate the cheese. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.

2. In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat.

3. Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg. Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!
