French bread cubes and apples are the perfect dippers for this classic fondue, made with white wine and Swiss and Gruyere cheeses. It’s a crowd-pleaser.—Linda Vogel, Elgin, Illinois
Ingredients:
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup dry white wine, divided
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded gruyere cheese
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded swiss cheese
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
3 drops hot pepper sauce
cubed french bread and/or sliced apples
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon wine; set aside. Combine cheeses and remaining cornstarch; set aside.
2. Rub sides of a large saucepan with cut sides of garlic; discard garlic. Add remaining wine to the pan and heat over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Stir in lemon juice.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low; add a handful of cheese mixture. Stir constantly, using a figure-eight motion, until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, one handful at a time, allowing cheese to almost completely melt between additions. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce. Stir cornstarch mixture; gradually add to the pan. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and smooth. Keep warm. Serve with bread. Yield: 2 cups.
