Method
    1. Prepare the Cheese:
      • In a large bowl, mix the grated Fribourg and Gruyère cheese together.
    2. Prepare the Pot:
      • Rub the inside of a fondue pot with the halved garlic clove.
      • Pour the white wine into the pot and heat gently until hot but not boiling.
    3. Add Cheese and Cornstarch:
      • Gradually add the cheese mixture to the pot, stirring continuously in a figure-eight motion until the cheese is melted and smooth.
      • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the a little bit of water or (optional) kirsch to create a smooth paste. Stir this mixture into the cheese fondue to thicken the consistency.
    4. Season and Serve:
      • Season the fondue with freshly ground black pepper and freshly grated nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
    5. Dip and Enjoy:
      • Spear the bread cubes with fondue forks and dip them into the creamy cheese mixture. Stir the fondue occasionally to prevent it from becoming too thick.
    Pro Tips
    • Cheese Combo: Experiment with the cheese ratio; more Gruyère for a nutty taste or more Emmental for a milder flavor.
    • Kirsch Magic: Use high-quality kirsch for a subtle cherry undertone that enhances the fondue’s complexity.
    • Consistency Control: If the fondue becomes too thick, add a splash of white wine to maintain a smooth, dippable texture.
    • Dipper Variety: Include an assortment of dippers like roasted vegetables, sausages, or even apple slices for a diverse fondue experience.
