Serves four
Ingredients:
1 kilo of grated cheese, composed of:
600g Vacherin
400g Gruyère
5 small glasses of dry, white wine
2 cloves of garlic
Measure out 5 small glasses of wine and pour into a 'caquelon' or fondue pot.
Press the garlic and add it to the wine. Heat the mixture until it's close to boiling.
Add the grated cheese in small portions, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and creamy.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then remove from heat and place the caquelon over a lit fondue burner.
Serve with bite-sized chunks of baguette or other white bread. And don't forget the fondue forks!
Authentic Swiss fondue is usually accompanied by white wine or black tea.
Bon appetit!
