12 ounces (4 cups) shredded gruyere cheese
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup shredded)
mix with 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
-Put Aside-
Cut a garlic clove in 1/2 (I cut off ends and take off peel) and rub inside a small sauce pan (makes 2-1/2 cups fondue)
Put 1 cup dry white wine, 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons dijon mustard in the sauce pan and bring to a gentle simmer over med. heat... (I had to lower my heat on my stove as my stove tends to run hot). whisk. Add 1/2 the cheese above into the sauce pan and they suggest using a wood spoon. (I used the whisk) until smooth. add the remainder of the cheese and stir until smooth.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Put in a fondue pot or small slow cooker... as I don't have either so I kept the fondue in the sauce pan and put it over a simmering pot of water (I served the fondue in small individual bowls with a skewer where they could add more fondue if they want.)
My fixings: I used left over beef tenderloin (cold) from last night's dinner (cubed)
red/yellow peppers
mushroom
carrot strips
blanched cauliflower
(I wish I had some snow peas)
small tomatoes
green onions
french bread
Things I might do If I made this again: put shallots chopped fine in the wine/lemon juice/dijon mixture while cooking then strain out the shallots
