Savoyard Fondue Board for 4 People - La Boite du Fromager

To make a successful Savoyard fondue, follow these steps:

Preparing the Ingredients:

• Grate the cheeses to help them melt more easily.
• Rub the inside of the fondue pot with a clove of garlic to add a subtle flavor.

Preparing the Fondue:

• Pour 1 glass of dry white wine into the fondue pot and heat over medium heat.
• Gradually add the grated cheeses while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight motion.

Additions and Seasoning:

• Once the cheese has melted, add one tablespoon of cornstarch diluted in kirsch to bind the mixture.
• Season with pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste.

Serving:

• Place the fondue pot on a suitable burner and keep the heat low to maintain the fondue hot and smooth.
• Serve with pieces of stale bread or baguette cut into cubes.

Accompaniments:

• Offer traditional accompaniments such as boiled potatoes, pickles, pearl onions, or crunchy vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower).

The Meal:

• Dip the pieces of bread or vegetables into the fondue using long, special fondue forks.
• Alternate between circular motions and figure-eight motions to prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom of the fondue pot.

By following these steps and paying particular attention to the cooking temperature and constantly stirring the cheeses, you can savor a delicious, authentic, convivial Savoyard fondue!
