This recipe uses two types of cheese and always turns out super smooth. I like to serve it with cubes of crusty bread for dipping, but baby potatoes, bell peppers, and sliced apples also work great!

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "It's so funny that fondue has made a comeback, however, in our house, it never left," says LINDA MCLEAN. "I've tried many fondue recipes, but this is my favorite. I did skip the nutmeg and I found that garlic powder gives the dish a nice flavor." "Fantastic," raves mofun. "Added a couple drops of lemon juice, as others suggested, to keep the sauce smooth. Served with apples and bread." "Very good," according to Carolyn Caraloopy. "I added a tablespoon of lemon juice to the wine and combined the flour with the shredded cheese before adding it to the pot. I also rubbed the pot with garlic before I did anything."
