Make the Cheese Fondue
- Halve the garlic clove and rub the inside of your fondue pot with it.
- Press the garlic and heat it with the white wine in a pot on the stove until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the cheese in portions of about 100 g (3-4 oz), stirring until completely melted before adding more.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tbsp cold water. Stir into the melted cheese until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour the mixture into your fondue pot and finish with black pepper (and nutmeg, if desired).
