We will prepare the ingredients according to the list. There is no single standard in the preparation of cheese fondue. Cheese can be used any hard, the main thing is to melt well and be fresh. A set of spices can be taken as you like, nutmeg, saffron are often used. Hard cheese can be used in the same variety or several at once. We rub cheese on a grater.

To prepare fondue, you need to use a fondyushnitsa, which is a refractory dish in the form of a bowl or a bowler, on a stand with a burner. Manufacturers present many different models, you can choose any to your liking. For cheese fondue, it is better to use a fondushnitsa with ceramic dishes so that the cheese does not delaminate during melting.

We clean the garlic clove and cut it into two parts, rub the walls of the fondushnitsa bowl with pieces of garlic. The wine should be white, dry. Strong alcohol helps to melt the cheese faster. We pour white wine into the bowl of fondushnitsa. Bring to a boil.

We add cheese to the wine, mix the ingredients and continue to melt, constantly stirring with a spatula. Add the starch and mix. Starch is needed so that the molten cheese mass becomes uniform in consistency, does not delaminate. When the mixture melts and becomes more uniform, add nutmeg, black ground pepper and salt to taste. I added a pinch of ground dry basil, the taste of the cheese paste became even more pleasant and vibrant.

Mix the mixture until it turns into a homogeneous mass. We remove the bowl from the fire. We pour the cheese into a container for serving to the table. Cut the bread into small pieces so that it is convenient to put them on a fondue fork. Instead of bread, crackers, pieces of fried meat, vegetables or grapes can be used. Enjoy your meal!
