preparation & ingredients

2 tbsp. corn starch

1 garlic clove

1 cup white wine

1 tbsp. lemon juice

salt, pepper, grated nutmeg to taste

1 lb. Murray’s Cave Aged Gruyère (shredded)

1/2 lb. Murray’s Estate Gouda (shredded)

In a bowl, toss the shredded cheeses with the cornstarch until the cheese is well-coated.

Cut the garlic clove in half. Rub the inside of a crock pot or fondue pot with garlic, then add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer over low heat.

Add the cheese mixture all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir over moderately low heat, just until the cheese is melted and smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and grated nutmeg to taste.

Dip your favorite accompaniments into the fondue and enjoy with friends.
