- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps
Grate all of the cheeses. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.
In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue.
Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg.
Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot.
Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!
