Instructions
-
Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Swiss cheese with the all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. This mixture will help to thicken your fondue and prevent the cheese from clumping together during melting.
-
Heat the Wine: Pour the dry white wine into a 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave the wine on high power for approximately 1 minute, or until it is hot but not boiling.
-
Combine and Stir: Once the wine is heated, add the cheese mixture to the hot wine. Stir well to combine the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the cheese is evenly coated with the wine.
-
Melt the Cheese: Microwave the mixture uncovered on medium power for about 7 to 9 minutes. It is crucial to stir the fondue every 2 minutes to promote even melting and prevent any burning at the edges. You will know it’s ready when the cheese is completely melted and has a smooth, creamy texture.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fondue is ready, carefully remove the baking dish from the microwave (it will be hot!). Serve the Swiss fondue immediately with chunks of bread, fresh vegetables, or your choice of dippers. Enjoy the delicious and indulgent flavor of this microwave-made Swiss fondue!
This Microwave Swiss Fondue is perfect for a quick snack, a fun appetizer for parties, or a cozy evening at home. It embodies the charm of traditional fondue while offering the convenience of modern cooking methods, allowing you to impress your guests or treat yourself without spending hours in the kitchen. Enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!
