FAQS

    Yes, you can substitute other melting cheeses like cheddar or fontina, but the flavor profile may change.

    You can also serve it with steamed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots, or even with boiled potatoes.

  3. Can I make this fondue alcohol-free?

    Yes, you can replace the wine with non-alcoholic white grape juice or vegetable broth, but the flavor will differ slightly.

  4. How do I keep the fondue warm while serving?

    Use a fondue warmer or a small portable burner to keep the fondue at the ideal temperature during serving.

  5. Can I prepare the fondue in advance?
