Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove (halved)
- 8 ounces Gruyère cheese (grated)
- 8 ounces Swiss Cheese (grated (or Emmental))
- 6 ounces Fontina cheese (grated)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken stock (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper (white or black)
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Combine the grated Gruyère cheese, Swiss cheese, and Fontina cheese with the cornstarch, in a bag or bowl until evenly coated, and set aside.
- Rub the inside of a fondue pot on the cut sides of the garlic cloves; discard the garlic.
- In the fondue pot, add the 1 cup chicken stock, milk, and lemon juice and cook over medium-low heat, once warm, slowly add the cheese. Stir occasionally in a figure-eight motion, until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Don’t let the mixture boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the ground nutmeg, ground pepper, sea salt, and paprika. Taste and adjust as needed. Add up to ¼ cup more chicken stock if needed to thin it out. Cook, stirring gently, until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes; don't overcook the fondue or it will get stringy.
- To serve, keep warm over low heat. Use long forks or skewers to dip bread, vegetables, potatoes, etc. into the melted cheese. Enjoy!
