lb (300 g) of Emmenthal cheese
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) white wine
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) flour
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Kirsch (optional)
- 1 garlic clove

Preparation:
- It is easier to melt the cheese if the cheese is grated.

- Cut bread into bite-size cubes.
- Use a medium saucepan to prepare the cheese preparation.
- Rub the interior of the saucepan with the garlic clove cut in half.
- In a plastic bag, mix cheese and flour together.
- Heat the wine in a saucepan on the stove at medium/high heat.
- Just before the wine boils, add the cheese, pepper and nutmeg.
- Stir constantly by doing "8" movements with your spoon over medium
heat. The melted cheese should have a smooth consistency after
approximately ten minutes.
- Add in the Kirsch (optional)
- Fill the fondue pot with water up to the max level indicator, heat on
the stove until boiling and then place in fondue rack. Make sure
the water does not evaporate completely.
- Transfer the melted cheese into the ceramic fondue pot over the sink,
using oven gloves to protect yourself against burns.
- Place ceramic fondue pot inside the stainless steel pot in the rack,
already in place on the table. When serving cheese fondue, do
not install the fork guide.
- Everyone can now enjoy a piece of crusty bread or anything else
dipped in cheese. It is important to stir the cheese often so that
it remains smooth throughout the meal.
Bon appetit !
CHEESE PROBLEM?
Your fondue is too thick? Slightly increase the intensity of the burner’s
flame and add a small quantity of white wine. Stir constantly.
Your fondue is too liquid? Slightly increase the intensity of the burner’s
flame and add a few pieces of cheese. Stir constantly.
Use a wooden, nylon or silicone spoon. It is not recommended to use
stainless steel utensils.
Suggestion: Kirsch Please?
Kirsch is a clear, colourless liqueur traditionally made from the distillation
of cherries (pulp, pits, stems). Added to your cheese fondue preparation,
Kirsch liqueur will give it a complex and fruity flavour. Instead of Kirsch,
you may use instead Poire William or white vermouth.
