Equipment

  • Electric Fondue Pot or small saucepan

Ingredients

Cheese Fondue:

  • ½ lb. processed Swiss cheese, diced into small cubes **Block or slices
  • 1 cup very dry white wine
  • 1 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • ⅛ tsp white 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 and cook out the alcohol.  
  • Add the diced cheese cubes to the saucepan and whisk until the cheese completely melts. Do not boil; let it slowly melt. Side Note: Add a bit of water if it is too thick; the cheese should coat the bread evenly when dipped into the mixture. 
  • Serve the cheese fondue with large chunks of sourdough bread, rye bread, pretzel bites, and apple slices. Enjoy.
