This Swiss Fondue is a classic and indulgent dish, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Made with Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, this creamy and flavorful fondue comes together effortlessly in the Instant Pot. Pair it with a variety of dippers for an authentic Swiss experience.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Rub the inside of the Instant Pot liner with the whole garlic clove to infuse flavor, then discard the garlic.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, and add the garlic clove. Heat until gently simmering, about 2-3 minutes. Discard the garlic clove.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the shredded Gruyère and Emmental cheeses with the cornstarch to prevent clumping. Gradually add the cheese mixture to the pot, whisking constantly until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Once the fondue is smooth and creamy, season with salt and black pepper to taste. If too thick, add more white to create a thinner consistency.
  5. Switch the Instant Pot to the Keep Warm setting to maintain the perfect serving temperature.
  6. Serve immediately with parboiled baby potatoes, steamed broccoli, sliced salami, cubed sourdough bread, and carrot sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
