Fondue fromages des montagnes
Melted mountain cheese fondue
Ingredients for 4 people
- 800gr cheese (Emmental/Comte/Gruyere)
- Garlic clove
- Glass of white wine
- Fresh baguettes
- Shot of spirits (Kirsch)
Directions
- Grate the cheese and mix in a bowl
- Peel the garlic clove and cut in half
- Rub the inside of a heavy based pot with the raw garlic then discard
- Slowly warm up the pot and add the cheese, stirring as it melts
- Add the glass of wine and keep stirring in a figure of 8 until cheese has melted
- When you get to the bottom of the pot and only dried cheese left, pour in a shot of sprits such as Kirsch and scrape the cheese off the base of the pot, it tastes amazing.
Serve straight away, keeping the pot warm over a low heat, dipping pieces of crusty bread into the cheese. Serve with a glass of Louis Latour Pinot Noir from the Vars region available from the French Market shop, or order online at www.Frenchmarket.co.za.
