Ingredients
300 g
grated gruyère
2 tbsp
1 cup
1
garlic clove, peeled
2 tbsp
1/8 tsp
baguette, cut into cubes
blanched broccoli florets
apples, cut into cubes
pears, cut into cubes
Instructions
- TOSS cheese with cornstarch. Set aside. Combine wine with garlic in a medium saucepan and bring just to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually add cheese mixture to wine, whisking constantly in a figure-8 motion to keep cheese from clumping. Whisk until cheese is completely melted and smooth, 3 to 5 min. Stir in kirsch and nutmeg. Pour into a fondue pot set over a low flame and place in a serving stand, or spoon mixture into warm ramekins for individual servings. Serve with baguette cubes, broccoli, kale, apples and pears.

When the fondue is almost gone, let the coating at the bottom turn into a crust, then break it into pieces and share with guests. The Swiss consider it a treasured treat.
