Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the fondue pot.
Rub the inside of a fondue pot or heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic clove for a subtle garlic aroma. Discard the garlic.
Step 2: Heat the wine and lemon juice.
Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the pot and gently heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling.
Step 3: Melt the cheese.
Gradually add the grated cheeses, stirring constantly in a circular motion until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4: Add seasonings and thickener.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, nutmeg, and black pepper. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the fondue thickens slightly.
Step 5: Transfer to the fondue pot.
If using a saucepan, transfer the melted cheese mixture to a heated fondue pot to keep warm.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the dippers around the fondue pot and enjoy dipping into the warm, creamy cheese mixture.
