Classic Le Gruyère Fondue
Serves 10
Time 20 min
A very simple and delicious fondue starring the complex flavor of Le Gruyère. For an alcohol-free version, substituting apple cider for the wine also produces a brilliant fondue. For other dippers, try slices of cooked mild sausage such as bratwurst, seafood such as cooked shrimp or scallops, and steamed cauliflower and carrots.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound Le Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 loaf crusty bread, cut or torn into 1-inch pieces
- 24 bite-size new potatoes, boiled until tender
- 2 apples, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
Method
Toss cheese and cornstarch together and set aside.
Bring wine to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Stir in cheese and cornstarch mixture.
Lower heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly in a figure-8 or zigzag motion, until cheese is melted and the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
Place a fondue pot in the middle of the table.
Pour cheese mixture into the pot and place over a gentle heat source.
Arrange bread, potatoes and apples on a platter and serve with the fondue for dipping.
