Clodagh's cheese fondue... live from the Alps!
Clodagh is in the stunning Swiss Alps filming a brand new series for the show.
While there she’s taking a break from her filming schedule to bring us a taste of the slopes - and yes, you can still enjoy the most delicious après-ski treat of them all without leaving home - it's the ultimate comfort food cheese fondue!
Swiss Alps cheese fondue
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 garlic clove, peeled
250g Emmental cheese, grated
250g Swiss Gruyère cheese, grated
300ml white wine
2 tsp cornflour
2 tsp kirsch (optional)
Nutmeg, to grate
To serve
Sourdough bread, cubed
Pickles
Method
1. Rub the inside of a saucepan or medium cast-iron casserole with the garlic clove; discard the garlic.
2. Combine the grated Gruyère and Emmental cheese with the wine, cornflour in a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from splitting, until the cheeses begin to melt.
3. Add the kirsch if using and a generous pinch of grated fresh nutmeg and cook, stirring gently, until creamy and smooth. Don't overcook the fondue or it will get stringy.
4. Serve in a fondue pot (if you have one) at once with cubed bread and pickles.
