Print Recipe
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 12 ounces shredded or cubed gouda cheese
- 4 ounces shredded or cubed Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon dry cooking Sherry
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2 cloves garlic
Add the white wine and stir to combine.
1 cup white wine
Add in the cornstarch, both cheeses, cooking Sherry, and salt and pepper. Use a whisk to stir and combine fully as the cheese melts. Stir continuously to make sure you don't burn the cheese.
¼ cup cornstarch, 12 ounces shredded or cubed gouda cheese, 4 ounces shredded or cubed Swiss cheese, 1 tablespoon dry cooking Sherry, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Stir in the basil. If the fondue is too thick, add a bit more wine. If too thin, add a bit more cheese.
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Use crostini, bread cubes, apples, veggies, or chips as dippers.
- Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together. It will combine more easily than if using a spoon.
- Don't have the pot on too high of a heat or the cheese at the bottom can burn. Keep stirring so that it doesn't catch.
- Once the cheese has all melted, you can add in more wine or more cheese to make it your preferred consistency.
Storage: Store white wine fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
