I managed to get my hands on some emmentaler and used it instead of the regular swiss. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Wow! It was scrumptious! I had never made a cheese fondue before, but recently vacationed in France and fell in love with it. This recipe came out creamy and smooth. Absolutely wonderful! -
Swiss cheese doesn't work. It's too sticky and tends to ball. Go for the classic gruyere + emmentaler. -
YUMMY! EASY! My two favorite in one! I used dry white wine, and added the nutmeg (just a few passes over the microplane). We dipped steamed broccoli, cauliflower, fresh mushrooms, and Portugese breadroll cubes. We used this as "sides" to our NYE dinner (flank steak pinwheels stuffed w/spinach). The kids loved it, too! -
This recipe was easy to prepare. A couple tips that may help; always us good quality cheeses; when adding cheeses stir in a figure-8 motion to ensure they melt together properly; I added fresh chopped chives at the end. Yummy! -
OH MY GOODNESS! We LOVED this! So easy to make, and SO cheesy to eat! Thanks for the recipe! It was wonderful!!!!
