Ingredients
- 3 cups dry white wine such as Chardonnay
- 1.5 lbs processed Swiss cheese shredded or finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. ground white pepper
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
- Plug in a small slow cooker (such as a Crockette) and set it to the "warm" setting.
- Place the white wine, crushed garlic cloves, cayenne pepper, ground white pepper, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. After five minutes, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the processed Swiss cheese into the slow cooker and cover it with the lid.
- After the wine has been reduced for 10 minutes, pour it directly over the cheese in the crockpot. (You may want to remove the crock from the heating element before doing this to avoid spilling liquid over the electric parts.)
- Use a whisk to combine the cheese with the wine mixture. It may seem like it is not working at first, but it will soon come together. If there are still large chunks after a few minutes, turn the heat up to high and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, whisking until smooth.
- Serve with pretzels, sourdough or rye bread, or sausage.

Notes
- Important NOTE: Make sure that you buy processed Swiss cheese instead of natural Swiss cheese for this recipe to work.
- Storage Info:
- Store leftover fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for 3-5 days. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and consistency. To reheat, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid separation or burning. Adding a small amount of wine or milk can help restore the creamy texture. Avoid microwaving as it can heat unevenly and cause the cheese to become grainy.
