Date Night Cheesy FUNdue

Ingredients

• 1 TBSP Cornstarch
• 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice (fresh)
• 2 oz Fontina Cheese (small pieces)
• 3 TBSP Garlic (minced)
• 2 oz Gruyere Cheese (small pieces)
• 1/4 TSP Nutmeg (to taste)
• 1/4 TSP Pepper (to taste)
• 2 oz Raclette Cheese
• 4 oz White Dry Wine

Instructions

Premeasure all ingredients and set aside. Mix the cheeses with starch and set aside.

In the fondue pot, heat the garli, lemon juice and wine together. Once frequent, slowly add the cheese mixture in small batches until melted. Add nutmeg and pepper. Keep warm and serve with your favorite dippers.

We particularly like this fondue recipe with French bread, green apple and pretzel bits.

TIPS

• Cheese tends to clump in too hot of temperatures. Reduce temperatures and add a splash of warm white wine and gently stir until dissolved.
• Compliments dipping apples, crusty breads, raw baby carrots, raw broccoli florets and raw grape tomatoes.
• Cornstarch helps stabilize and thicken the fondue.
• Makes for a great appetizer or meal. 
• Optional is to add 1 oz of cherry liqueur.
• Optional is to add 1 1/2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar.
• Rather than shred all the cheeses, if you use a kitchen scale you may cut them in small squares.
• Substitute Fontina Cheese for Emmental Cheese.
