Preparation
Preparing the Cheese Mix
Grate and toss
Grate the Gruyère and Emmental cheese, and toss with cornstarch.
Season the pot
Rub the inside of a fondue pot with the halved garlic clove, then discard the garlic.
Heat the wine
Over medium-low heat, add the wine and slowly bring to a simmer.
Keep the wine at a gentle simmer to avoid burning the cheese.
Preparing the Dipping Accompaniments
Cube the bread
Cut the baguette into cubes and set aside.
Slice the apples
Slice the apples just before serving to prevent browning.
Squeeze lemon over apple slices to prevent oxidation and browning.
Blanch vegetables
Blanch the seasonal vegetables until just tender.
Cooking Process
Melting the Cheese
Gradually add cheese to the fondue pot, stirring consistently.
Adding Flavor
Once melted, stir in kirsch, pepper, and nutmeg for flavor enhancement.
Final Touch
