Instructions
Start out with adding the dry white wine to your fondue pot or a large saucepan. Heat the wine so that it reaches a low simmer.
As the wine is heating up, toss the shredded Gruyere cheese and sharp cheddar cheese with the cornstarch and seasonings (salt, pepper, and nutmeg).
Once the wine is simmering, add the cheese and cornstarch mixture a little at a time, stirring frequently until fully melted and combined. Serve right away with fondue forks or skewers and your favorite foods to dip.
Notes
If you don't have wine, you may substitute your favorite beer for a delicious beer cheese dip. For an alcohol-free version, swap the wine for apple juice or a broth.
Always use freshly grated cheese for fondue, the pre-shredded stuff does not melt well due to the additives used to keep the cheese from clumping.
Some great things to dip in this cheese fondue include, but are not limited to, bread, cooked meats, apples, and raw or roasted veggies.
Cheese fondue can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated once cooled. To reheat, use a double boiler (or a metal bowl placed on top of a small pot or saucepan full of boiling water) and heat until melted.
Use additional dry white wine to thin the fondue if needed - both when serving or when reheating.
