Fondue can be super fun. It’s been around forever. I’ve eaten in France and the states. There’s a chain restaurant dedicated (for a pretty penny) to the art of fondue. Basic cheese fondue is easy to make and included minimal ingredients, while serving up lots of fun. My kids love fondue. Here’s our recipe for you to enjoy.
Easy Swiss and Gruyere Cheese Fondue Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry wine wine
(I use a French Sauvignon Blanc and drink the rest with the fondue as it obviously pairs nicely) - 1/2 pound Swiss cheese, shredded (Trader Joe’s sells a bag of Swiss and Gruyere blend…it doesn’t get any easier than that!)
- 1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 baguette, cubed
- 1/2 lb. sausage, cooked and sliced
(I use a French 
and drink the rest with the fondue as it obviously pairs nicely)
Directions
Simmer wine in a saucepan
or fondue pot
. Add the cheeses, 1/4 pound at a time, stirring well after each addition until the cheese is melted. Add in flour
, salt
, and nutmeg
.
Serve with cubed bread and sausage or whatever else you like in your fondue! Enjoy!

Fondue is the best. I pretend it’s even healthy by dipping veggies and fruits in it.
Yum!! I haven’t made fondue since summer camp cooking class. I love the idea of dipping sausage in it, since I don’t eat grains/bread! Or much dairy but what a treat!
I love cheese fondue, and gruyere is one of my favorites! I prefer to dip a dark brown or black Russian Rye though. This looks decadent, Jana.
Mmm I love me some fondue!
