Description
This authentic Swiss cheese fondue blends rich Gruyère and creamy Emmental into a silky, restaurant-quality fondue that comes together in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Emmental cheese, shredded
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Shred cheeses and toss each separately with 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
- Rub garlic around the inside of fondue pot. Add wine and heat until small bubbles form.
- Stir in Gruyère using figure-eight motions until nearly melted, then add Emmental gradually.

Notes
Never use pre-shredded cheese—freshly grated melts smoothly and prevents grainy texture.
