NZ-Cheese-Fondue-500x500

Decadent cheesey fondue

  • Serves 4
  • Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 15 mins

Cheese fondue is usually served with cubes of bread, boiled potatoes, charcuterie and cornichons. Give an adult nod to Hallowe’en ... stir your fondue ‘cauldron’ and serve with ‘witches fingers’ (aka carrot sticks)!

Ingredients

  • 250ml white wine, a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 250g Barrys Bay Maasdam, grated

  • 400g Kapiti Kōwhai Gruyère style cheese, grated

  • Nutmeg, for grating

Method

  1. Put the wine and garlic in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat and bring to a simmer.

  2. Add the Maasdam, in batches, stirring vigorously as it melts.

  3. You can use a wooden spoon to stir the melting cheese or use a whisk. Once melted, add the Gruyère style cheese, again in batches, stirring until it melts.

  4. Finely grate a little nutmeg over the cheese mixture and stir through.

  5. Transfer to a fondue set and enjoy!
