CHEESE FONDUE

Bruno Good, Exec. Chef - United Airlines

(Serves 6)

Ingredients

  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 Lb. Imported Swiss Cheese, grated
  • 3 tsp. Kirsch, Cognac or Brandy
  • 1 tsp. Cornstarch
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 2 loaves French Bread with hard crust, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 1/2 cups Dry White Wine

Method

  1. Rub an enameled metal casserole with garlic. Pour in wine and set over low heat. Heat until air bubbles rise to the surface; add cheese by handfuls, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring until the cheese is melted. Dissolve cornstarch in Kirsch or Brandy; add this to the cheese mixture and stir again for two to three minutes. Season with nutmeg. Place casserole on the table on a hot plate, or an alcohol burner to keep mixture faintly bubbling. Guests spear pieces of bread on forks and dip them into the cheese.

Note from the transcription

Switzerland has developed some special and unique favorite recipes of her own. Being a lush dairy country, Swiss cuisine includes many dishes lavish with cheese, cream and butter.
