Ingredients
- 8 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Emmental cheese, shredded
- 2 oz Cream cheese
- 1 large Garlic clove, halved
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Cognac or brandy
- 1 pinch Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Almond flour
Directions
Step 1
Rub the interior of a fondue pot or a medium saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic halves. Discard the garlic.
Step 2
In a small bowl, toss the shredded Gruyere and Emmental cheeses with almond flour. Set aside.
Step 3
Place the fondue pot or saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour in the dry white wine and lemon juice. Heat until just simmering, but not boiling.
Step 4
Gradually add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a zigzag pattern (not circular) to prevent the cheese from balling up.
Step 5
Once all the cheese is added and melted smoothly, stir in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth.
Step 6
Add the cognac or brandy and a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Keep the fondue warm over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately with keto-friendly dippers like broccoli, cauliflower, grilled chicken strips, or zucchini slices.
