Ingredients
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry white wine, divided
1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3–4 drops hot sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of wine; set aside.
Toss the remaining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with the shredded cheese; set aside.
Rub the inside of a large saucepan with the halved garlic clove; discard the garlic.
Add the remaining wine to the saucepan and heat over medium until small bubbles form.
Stir in lemon juice.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the cheese mixture by handfuls, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion until fully melted before adding more.
Once all the cheese is melted, stir in garlic powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Slowly add the cornstarch-wine mixture to the cheese, stirring until smooth and thickened.
Keep warm and serve immediately with bread, vegetables, or other dippers.
Notes
Use quality cheese for the smoothest results.
Pair with crusty bread, apple slices, or steamed veggies.
Keep over low heat or a fondue warmer while serving.
