Stone Ground Mustard Cheese Fondue

Try side dishes such as cured meats, olives, or fresh peppers to contrast the richness of the cheese.

Ingredients
 4 cups Emmental cheese, cubed
 3 cups Gruyère cheese, cubed
 2 cups dry white wine
 2 Tbsp cornstarch
 2 Tbsp cold water
 1 clove garlic, minced
 2 pinches nutmeg
 4 Tbsp whole mustard seed, ground coarsely
 48 oz rustic bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
 salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
1

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, bring the white wine to a simmer. Add the cheeses and stir until cheese is melted and smooth. (At first the cheese and wine will look like it won’t blend, but keep stirring. As the cheese melts it will become more fluid.)

2

Combine cornstarch and water then stir into cheese mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, to a very slight bubble, but do not boil.

3

Add garlic, nutmeg and mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Stir more vigorously to combine. Serve in fondue pot, keeping warm at low heat.
