Alpine Cheese Fondue
1 clove garlic, cut in half
½ pound natural Swiss cheese, shredded
½ pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Dash of pepper
1 loaf French or Italian bread
Rub inside of ceramic, glass or stoneware pot with garlic.
Toss cheeses with flour. Pour wine into pot. Heat wine in microwave until bubbles start to show on bottom and edge of pot.
Stir in lemon juice and handfuls of cheese. Stir with a wooden spoon, and heat on medium high in microwave until cheese melts, stirring periodically. Add pepper. Serve at once with bread cubes cut so each cube has a crusty edge.
Spear a bread cube with a long-handled fondue fork, plunging tines through softened side of cube to crust. Swirl bread cube in cheese mixture. Cool slightly before eating.
Makes about 3 cups fondue, and 6-8 servings.
