Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup white wine I used Chardonnay, but Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris also work
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 12 oz. shredded or cubed gouda cheese*
  • 4 oz. shredded or cubed Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp dry cooking sherry
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh basil

Instructions

  • 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 oz. shredded or cubed gouda cheese*, 4 oz. shredded or cubed Swiss cheese, 1 tbsp 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 tbsp minced fresh basil
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Use crostini, bread cubes, apples, veggies, or chips as dippers.

Notes

*Grate your own cheese for the smoothest fondue. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated in starch that can cause them to melt unevenly.
