Classic cheese fondue

Serves: 6 – 8

Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

200g Emmenthal, grated
200g Gruyère, grated
45ml (3 tbsp) cake flour
1 garlic clove, halved
320ml dry white wine
pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

Toss the cheese with the flour.

Rub the interior of a saucepan with the garlic, then place over medium heat and add the wine. Bring to a slow simmer and gradually mix in the cheese mixture. Stir in the nutmeg.
