Ingredients

  • 1 pound mature Comté (preferably 10-18 months), shredded (about 5 cups shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Good quality crusty bread, cut or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • Steamed or roasted vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and/or fingerling potatoes), sausages and sliced apples for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss the shredded Comté and cornstarch until well combined.
  • Rub the inside of fondue pot with cut sides of garlic. Discard garlic. Add wine and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add a quarter of the Comté and stir until melted. Continue stirring in cheese, a quarter at a time, until melted. Cook, stirring, until fondue is completely smooth and richly coats the back of a spoon. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve the hot fondue with crusty bread for dipping, along with steamed vegetables, sausages and apple slices, if you wish.
