Ingredients

4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry riesling wine
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Sliced smoked sausage and cubed French bread baguette

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cheese and flour. In a large saucepan, heat wine and garlic over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan (do not boil).
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup cheese mixture; stir constantly until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing cheese to melt almost completely between additions. Stir in the sherry, lemon juice and nutmeg.
Transfer to a heated fondue pot; keep fondue bubbling gently. Serve with sausage and bread cubes. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in a little additional wine.
