A delightful twist on the classic cheese fondue, featuring the rich flavors of Swiss cheese and caramelized onions.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the flavor mild.
Add thinly sliced onions and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Sprinkle the onions with sugar and continue to cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Low heat is key to achieving perfect caramelization.
Transfer the caramelized onions to a bowl.
Keep the onions warm to enhance their flavor.
Pour the wine into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Avoid boiling the wine to maintain its flavor.
Toss the grated cheese with flour in a bowl.
Coating the cheese with flour helps prevent clumping.
Gradually add the cheese mixture to the wine, stirring until smooth.
Add the cheese in small amounts for a smoother texture.
Stir in the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot and top with caramelized onions.
Keep the fondue warm to maintain its creamy consistency.
Serve with bread cubes for dipping.
Use a variety of dippers like vegetables or cooked meats for more options.
