Yields6 ServingsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

Fondue:
 1 garlic clove, cut in half
 1 cup white wine (we substituted apple cider for a non-alcoholic version)
 ½ lb grated Emmental or Swiss cheese
 ½ lb grated old Cheddar
 1 tbsp cornstarch
 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
 ½ tsp grated nutmeg
 ½ tsp dry mustard
 salt and pepper to taste (use white pepper if you don't want to see the pepper)
For Dipping:
 2 cups mixed roasted baby potatoes, roasted cauliflower, roasted Brussels sprouts
 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
 2 apples, cored and cut into chunks
 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
 2 cups cubed bread

1

Rub the interior of a medium saucepan with the clove of garlic, then discard.

2

Add the wine or apple cider and bring to a low simmer.

3

In a bowl, combine the cheeses and cornstarch.

4

Make sure your heat is very low. Add a handful of the cheese mixture at a time and whisk until combined and smooth. You want to ensure the cheese has fully melted before adding the next handful.

5

Once all the cheese has been incorporated and is fully melted and smooth, add the lemon juice, nutmeg and dry mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Transfer to a fondue pot over a low flame to keep warm and smooth.

7

Serve with roasted, steamed and raw vegetables as well as plenty of cubed bread and use fondue forks for dipping.
