CHEESE FONDUE!! Authentic Family Recipe How Swiss People Make it!

Learn how to make an authentic Swiss Cheese Fondue with my family’s recipe, from scratch! Since some people asked, NO this is not an instant fondue mix! Here in Switzerland, you can go into any cheese store and ask for a moité-moité fondue, and they will automatically just grate the cheese for you in a machine and just put it in a bag. This is the pure cheese, which is why I have to add all the other ingredients. The mix in here is half Gruyères, half Vacherin cheese which is the classic mix. In an instant fondue mix, you just basically heat up the bag as everything is already inside, sometimes even pre-melted - in short: not nearly as good as the real deal! Rest assured this is a very typical recipe, pretty much everyone I know in Switzerland makes some kind of a variation of this recipe. A similar recipe is even printed on the fondue bags when you buy it at a cheese store in Switzerland. Regarding wine, there is no reason to substitute. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures, so if you’re worried about that, just cook it a bit longer and let it boil before enjoying. There is no substituting for the taste of the white wine and really no reason to do so. Trust me, no child is going to get drunk on this fondue! Swiss kids eat fondue all the time with the wine in, as the alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. Ingredients for 2 people: 400g cheese (classic is half Gruyere, half Vacherin cheese) 1 clove garlic 150ml white wine 2 teaspoons corn starch 1-2 teaspoons Kirsch (cherry) or Pear schnapps 1 loaf of hearty country bread, cubed in bite-size pieces (“Ruchbrot“ in Switzerland) dash of fresh nutmeg black pepper to taste Enjoy your authentic Swiss fondue!
