Ingredients

4 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 C. Verdi sparkling wine
1 large shallot, chopped
2 C. coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (about 7 oz.)
1 1/3 C. coarsely grated Emmental cheese (about 5 oz.)
1/2 C. diced rindless Brie or Camembert cheese (about 3 oz.)
generous pinch of ground nutmeg
pinch of ground white pepper
1 French-bread baguette, crust left on, bread cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

Stir the cornstarch and lemon juice in small bowl until cornstarch dissolves; set aside. Combine Verdi and shallot in fondue pot or heavy medium saucepan; simmer over medium heat 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Add all cheeses and stir to combine. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Return fondue pot to medium heat and stir until cheeses are melted and smooth and fondue thickens and boils, about 12 minutes. Season fondue with nutmeg and white pepper. Place over candle or canned heat burner to keep warm. Serve with bread cubes.
