This recipe shows you how easy a classic Swiss fondue is 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 Gruy?re and Emmental. 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 fortifying kick.
Ingredients
To Serve
- 1 (8 inch) French bread, cubed
- 1 pound cooked baby potatoes
- 1 cup cornichons
- 1 cup pickled pearl onions
- 2 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 2 ½ cups shredded Emmental cheese
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic, halved
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine
Directions
Step 1
Combine Gruy?re cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Cook’s Notes:
Prepare all of your accoutrements before making the fondue, as the fondue takes little time to prepare and will be served immediately. Cube the baguette and place in a bowl or bread basket; boil baby potatoes in ample hot water until tender; and place cornichons and onions in small bowls for serving. Set the table where you'll be serving the fondue with a fondue pot and stand, fondue forks, and small plates.
