Ingredients for A Classic Crock Pot Fondue

  • White Wine
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 2 cups grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Kirsch
  • Ground Nutmeg

How to Make A Classic Crock Pot Fondue

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dry white wine and the minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups grated Gruyère cheese, 1 cup grated Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Gradually whisk 1/2 cup milk into the cheese mixture until smooth.
  4. Pour the simmered wine and garlic into the slow cooker. Add the cheese mixture and stir until melted and smooth.
  5. Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 2 hours, or until the fondue has reached your desired consistency and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
