Simple and basic Swiss cheese fondue with white wine and Kirsch goes together quickly.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound grated Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 cups dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons Kirsch, rum or brandy (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • Bread, cooked meat, vegetables for dippers

Preparation:

Gently toss Swiss cheese and flour until cheese is coated. Set aside.

Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the inside of the fondue pot, pressing firmly to release juices. Add white wine and bring to a simmer. Do not boil.

Add the Swiss cheese to the wine in the fondue pot a handful at a time while stirring with a wooden spoon. When the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, add the Kirsch, rum or brandy along with the Parmesan cheese and grated nutmeg. Stirring constantly, heat until it just begins to boil.

Serve Swiss cheese fondue with bread chunks, cooked meat pieces, and chopped vegetables.

Yield: 4 servings
