Let's Make It!
Rub the bottom and sides of a small saucepan with the garlic half and then discard. Heat the wine over medium-low heat. Bring it to a very low, gentle simmer.
Start adding cheese, a handful at a time, whisking until each addition has melted. Continue to add cheese slowly, whisking, melting, and maintaining a low heat.
Immediately transfer to a fondue pot, keeping warm over a low heat.
If the cheese starts to separate or looks greasy, there’s a way to “save” it. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water. Stir this into the melted cheese, a little at a time, until it comes back together.
