- Title: Classic Swiss Cheese Fondue
- Categories: Appetizers, Cheese

- 1 lb Emmenthaler or Gruyere, or a

- 3 tb Corn starch

- Rub an earthenware casserole or chafing dish or fondue pot with cut

- Gradually stir in cheese bits (grated cheese tends to lump). When
- melted, stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in Kirsh. Add
- salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir and bring to a simmer. Keep cheese
- bubbling lightly over LOW heat or it will toughen.
- If it becomes too thick, add a little preheated wine. If it

- wine, then warm slightly.
- Serve with bread cubes that guests can spear on fondue forks, then
- dip into the cheese mixture. Serve a tossed salad on the side and
- offer fruit for dessert. Accompany with Kirsh, neuchatel wine or beer.
