Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 5 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 5 ounces Challerhocker cheese, shredded
  • 6 ounces Vacherin Fribourgeois cheese, cut into lumps
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon apple brandy
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. In a medium-size mixing bowl, sprinkle all three cheeses with the cornstarch. Toss to ensure the cheese is generously coated.
  2. In a medium-size nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat, add the butter and garlic; sauté until aromatic and translucent. Once the garlic is translucent and aromatic, add the wine and bring to a low simmer.
  3. Slowly add a handful of cheese. Whisk the cheese constantly into the wine. Once it's fully melted and dissolved, add another handful and whisk constantly. Repeat with the rest of the cheese. It should be melted and emulsified into the fondue before each addition.
  4. Once all the cheese is in, stir in the brandy and lemon juice, and season with cracked black pepper. Remove from the heat. The fondue should look thick and creamy. Serve immediately with toasted bread and fruit.
