Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely grate 200g Gruyère and 150g Emmental cheeses into a heatproof bowl. Add 100ml dry white wine and 1 minced garlic clove, then sprinkle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour over the top.
  2. Step 2: Warm 30ml Kirsch schnapps in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over the cheese mixture. Stir gently until melted, then add 1 tbsp fresh thyme and cook over low heat for 3 minutes until smooth and bubbling around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Slice 200g crusty baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange on a platter. Serve the hot fondue immediately with bread for dipping, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
