- 4 oz gruyere
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 shallots finely chopped
- 1 tsp chopped garlic

Instructions
- Grate the Swiss cheese on the largest setting of your cheese grater. Grate the Gruyere cheese on the medium setting of your cheese grater.
- Combine the cheeses in a large bowl, and add 2 tbsp of cornstarch to the cheese. Mix to combine, ensuring that all cheese is coated in cornstarch.
- Heat a fondue pot or a nonstick pot on medium heat. Add the garlic and the shallots and cook until fragrant, or about five minutes.
- Once the shallots are cooked, add the white wine into the pot and turn the heat to high. Bring the wine to a boil.
- Once the wine is boiling, turn the heat to low. Divide the cheese into quarters. Add one quarter into the wine, and stir on a low heat until the cheese melts completely. Then add the next quarter and repeat. Repeat these steps until all the cheese is melted.
