====Ingredients====
  *Swiss-style cheese: 8 oz (ex., Jarlseberg, Emmenthaler), shredded
  *Gruyere cheese: 8 oz, shredded
  *Cornstarch: 2 tbsp


  *Garlic: 2 cloves, halved crosswise


  *Dry white wine: 1 cup (ex., Sauvignon Blanc)
  *Lemon juice: 1 tbsp


  *Kirsch: 1 tbsp (cherry brandy)
  *Dry mustard: 1/2 tsp
  *Nutmeg: 1 pinch freshly grated


  *Things to dip - see notes

====Notes====
  *Can sub flour for cornstarch if you're not worried about gluten
  *Dipper ideas: bread (or GF bread), raw or blanched vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes), meats (cubed ham), apples, pears

====Instructions====
  -Toss grated cheese with cornstarch in a ziploc bag. Set aside
  -Rub the inside of a 4 quart pot with the cut garlic, then toss into the pot. Add the wine and lemon juice to the pot and bring to a low simmer on medium heat
  -Slowly stir cheese into the wine; stir constantly to prevent the cheese from seizing. Cook just until the cheese is melted and creamy - do not let boil
  -Stir in the kirsch, mustard, and nutmeg
  -Transfer to a serving pot to keep warm (ex., fondue pot, instant pot) and serve with dippers
