Zubereitung von Chipotle Cheese Fondue
- **Prepare the Cheese Mixture:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese, 1 cup grated Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until well combined.
- **Infuse the Wine:** Rub the inside of a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan with 2 garlic cloves, leaving the cloves in the pan. Add 2 cups dry white wine and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- **Melt the Cheese:** Bring the wine mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in the cheese mixture, a handful at a time, ensuring each addition is fully melted before adding more.
- **Season the Fondue:** Stir in 1 tablespoon Kirsch (cherry brandy, optional), 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1-2 teaspoons chipotle powder (adjust to your spice preference), and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the fondue is smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- **Finish and Serve:** Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl. Keep warm over very low heat (or a warming tray) while preparing the accompaniments.
- **Add Garnishes (optional):** Gently stir in 1/2 cup fried shallots (see step 7), 2 chopped scallions, and/or 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.
- **Make the Fried Shallots:** In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup thinly sliced shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- **Drain Shallots:** Transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt.
- **Enjoy!:** Serve your delicious Chipotle Cheese Fondue with crusty bread, apple slices, broccoli florets, or your favorite dippers!
