Ingredients

  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, grated can be mixed with gruyer cheese
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 tbsp. flour
  • Kosher salt a dash
  • black or white pepper a dash
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg to taste
  • 1 loaf French bread cut into 1 inch pieces. Set aside.
  • 1 clove garlic cut in 1/2

Instructions

  1. Do Not Use A Metal Pot. In a deep glass pot (I used a large Corningware deep dish), rub the garlic all over the inside of the pot. Discard the garlic.
  2. Simmer the wine on low heat. Add the cheese in small batches, stirring constantly. When all the cheese is melted, add the seasonings, then the flour. The mixture should be thick. If you think it is to thick you might have to add a teaspoon or two of water.
  3. Transfer to a fondue pot. This pot has a candle on the bottom that keeps the cheese warm. Place a piece of bread on a fork and dip into the cheese mixture and enjoy.
