With another year coming to an end, we’re looking back on all the things that have brought us joy over this past year and looking forward to toasting the new year with a delicious pairing when the clock strikes midnight. We highly recommend this quick and easy cheese fondue recipe from Jolee’s Kitchen. This savory dish pairs wonderfully with our 2022 Chardonnay.
Cheers!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 6 oz. Gruyère Cheese
- 12 oz. Swiss or Emmental cheese
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1& 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1&1/2 tbsp sherry
- Dash of nutmeg
- Dippers
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp cornstarch over 6 oz. of grated Gruyere cheese and 12 oz. of grated Swiss or Emmental cheese. Toss together to coat the cheese evenly.
- Take one fresh, peeled clove of garlic and swipe around your pan or fondue pot (for flavor). Discard after use.
- Over medium temperature, bring 1 &1/2 cup of dry white wine to simmer.
- Fold in the cheese in small amounts stir to combine until smooth.
- Once the cheese has been added, add 1 & ½ tbsp of sherry and a dash of nutmeg. Stir until smooth.
- PRO TIP: Keep the temperature of your fondue at a low to medium temperature to avoid it becoming stringy. If your fondue begins to lose its smooth texture, lower the temperature immediately.
- Start dipping your favorite sides! Don’t be afraid to get creative – try this recipe with boiled baby potatoes, pretzels, crackers, sliced baguettes, apple slices, vegetable crudites, crostini, or cured meats.
