Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. Marsala wine -- or dry sherry
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic -- smashed
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 12 oz. mozzarella cheese -- fresh, coarsely grated
  • 6 oz. fontina cheese -- coarsely grated
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup mushrooms -- minced
  • 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground pepper

Directions
  1. Dissolve the cornstarch in the Marsala.
  2. Rub the garlic around the inside of a heavy saucepan over medium heat and then drop in. Add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add cheeses, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to melt and blend. If the cheese and liquid do not blend, raise the heat slightly; you don't want this boiling, but it will not become smooth if it's too cool.
  4. When the cheese is completely blended into the liquid, add cornstarch mixture and mushrooms, and whisk to blend. Let simmer several minutes to thicken. If the fondue is too thick, stir in some additional wine. Season with nutmeg and pepper.
  5. Transfer to fondue pot or chafer and serve with bread cubes, salami cubes, cherry or grape tomatoes, cauliflower and broccoli florets.
  6. Makes 5 cups (10 to 12 appetizer servings)
