How to Make Gruyere Fondue With Caramelized Shallots

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of thinly sliced shallots and sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low.
  4. Sprinkle shallots with 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Sauté until shallots are caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Transfer caramelized shallots to a small bowl; set aside.
  7. Add 1 1/2 cups of dry white wine to the skillet.
  8. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  9. Pour the wine into a heavy medium saucepan.
  10. Set over medium-low heat.
  11. In a medium bowl, toss 2 cups of grated Gruyere cheese with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat evenly.
  12. Add half of the caramelized shallots to the wine in the saucepan.
  13. Gradually add the cheese mixture to the wine, a handful at a time, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and smooth before adding more.
  14. If the mixture becomes too thick, thin it with a tablespoon or two of additional wine.
  15. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
  16. Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot.
  17. Set the fondue pot over a candle or a canned heat burner to keep warm.
  18. Top the fondue with the remaining caramelized shallots.
  19. Serve immediately with crusty bread cubes for dipping.
