Classic Cheese Fondue

1 garlic clove, peeled and halved

1 cup Grüner Veltliner or other dry white wine

1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss (emmenthal) cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded gruyère cheese

1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon dry mustard

Freshly grated nutmeg

Pepper

Crusty French bread, cubed

Bockwurst or other mild German sausages, browned and cut into bite-size lengths

Asian pears, sliced into thin wedges

Step 1

Rub garlic clove around the inside of a 1-qt. fondue pot; discard clove. Pour wine into pot; warm over medium heat on the stovetop until bubbles start to rise.

Step 2

Mix Swiss and gruyère cheeses with flour and dry mustard in a bowl.

Step 3

Add cheese mixture to wine, a handful at a time, stirring gently after each addition until melted and smooth. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg and pepper.

Step 4

Set pot over its heat source, adjusting so fondue barely bubbles. Arrange French bread, sausages, and pears alongside.

Step 5

Scrape bottom of pot occasionally to keep fondue from scorching as you spear and dip bread, sausages, and pears.

Step 6
