Equipment
Electric Fondue Pot or small saucepan
Ingredients
Cheese Fondue:
½lbprocessed Swiss cheese, diced into small cubes**Block or slices
1cupvery dry white wine
1large cloves of garlic, finely minced
⅛tspwhite pepper
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of nutmeg
For Serving:
Rye bread, cut into bite-sized pieces
Sourdough bread, cut into bite-sized pieces
Pretzel rolls, cut into bite-sized pieces
Apple slices
Grilled bratwurst sausage slices
Instructions
Simmer the wine, garlic, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in an electric fondue pot or small saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes, to reduce the wine a bit and let the alcohol cook out.
Add the diced cheese cubes into the saucepan and whisk until cheese completely melts, do not boil, just let it slowly melt. Side Note: Add a bit more wine if it's too thick, the consistency of the cheese fondue should coat the bread evenly when it's dipped into the mixture.
Serve, keeping the fondue on low heat, with pieces of sour dough bread, rye bread, pretzel bites, and apple slices. Enjoy.
