Traditional Swiss fondue is so easy to make. My husband grew up in Switzerland and it's there where I truly began to appreciate fondue. There are many variations of fondue in Switzerland, but this is the most common version using Gruyère and Emmental cheeses. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can find it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a nice kick. Enjoy with your favorite bread, boiled baby potatoes, cornichons, and pickled onions.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2.5 cups shredded Emmental cheese
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic , halved
- 1.5 cups dry white wine
Instructions
-
1
Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.

2
Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.

Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.
