Ingredients

19 ounces (537 g) alpine-style cheeses Gruyere, Emmentaler recommended
2 teaspoons cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon salt
Dash freshly ground pepper
Dash ground nutmeg
1 garlic clove halved
1½ cups dry white wine pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
gluten-free french bread see recipe notes for more dipper ideas

Instructions

Freshly grate the cheeses and place in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Toss to combine. Let it stand at room temperature for one hour to guarantee smoother melting. This is a good time to prep the dippers so they are all ready when the cheese is warmed up.

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.
1 garlic clove, 1½ cups dry white wine
Slowly start adding the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking vigorously until each addition has melted. Continue to add the cheese slowly, whisking, melting, and maintaining a low heat. If the mixture heats up too quickly, the cheese might clump, separate and become stringy.
Immediately transfer to a fondue pot, keeping warm over a low heat. Dip and enjoy immensely!

Notes

What to do if cheese separates

If the cheese does start 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.
