Ingredients
- Dutch Gouda cheese
- 8 ounces, shredded
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Dry white wine
- 1 cup
- Garlic
- 1 clove, halved
- Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly grated
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Crusty bread
- 1 loaf, cut into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Begin by rubbing the inside of a fondue pot with the halved garlic cloves to infuse the pot with flavor.
- Pour the dry white wine into the pot and heat gently over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- In a medium bowl, toss the shredded Gouda cheese with the cornstarch, ensuring the cheese is evenly coated to help thicken the mixture.
- Gradually add the cheese to the pot, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the cheese is fully melted and creamy.
- Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg and ground pepper, ensuring they are well incorporated into the melted cheese.
- Once the fondue is smooth and velvety, transfer the pot to a fondue stand or a heat source to keep it warm.
- Serve the cheese fondue immediately with pieces of crusty bread for dipping, encouraging everyone to enjoy the experience together.
Tips
- For a twist, consider adding a splash of brandy or a hint of mustard to the cheese mixture for added depth of flavor.
- Experiment with dipping options! Vegetables like blanched broccoli or bell peppers, and fruits like apples or pears also pair splendidly with the cheese.
