Classic Cheese Fondue - Food Wishes
Cheese fondue is one of those iconic recipes that I’ve never gotten around to filming. One of those reasons was the lack of a proper fondue set, but that changed after a trip to a second hand store. With that excuse gone, I was down to finding an authentic recipe that would be both easy, and foolproof. Enjoy!

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!
CHEESE FONDUE IN 10 MINUTES | Super Easy Recipe
My video shows you how to prepare cheese fondue in 10 minutes. A simple fondue recipe is foolproof and incredibly easy. I've tried several different cheese combinations over the years, but I keep coming back to the traditional pairing of aged Gruyere and Emmentaler cheese. Gruyere has a sharper, more assertive flavor while Emmentaler is more mild, has better melting qualities and helps to tame the Gruyere a bit. The cherry Kirshwasser is an optional ingredient, bit I highly recommend adding it just before serving your fondue.
There are only a small handful of ingredients in this recipe so make sure everything you buy is of high quality.
