How to Make Swiss Cheese Fondue

Gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is more affordable and widely available.

dry white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Broth adds flavor without alcohol.

kirsch

🥗Healthier: cherry juice

💰Cheaper: water

Cherry juice maintains the fruity flavor.

Rub the inside of a fondue pot with half a clove of garlic.

Pour in dry white wine and bring it to a simmer.

Add Gruyère and Emmental cheese little by little, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent clumping.

Continue to stir until all the cheese is melted, using a zigzag or figure-eight motion.

Once the cheese is melted and thick, add Kirsch to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little wine, then add it to the melted cheese to thicken.

Keep the mixture at a simmer while stirring until it thickens and becomes creamy.

Pour the cheese mixture into the fondue pot and serve with French bread for dipping.
