Cheese Recipe: Fondue with Beecher's Flagship Cheeses

Serves 3 to 4

4 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup dry sparkling wine or lager beer

1 large shallot, finely chopped

4 cups grated cheese (any combination of Beecher's Flagship, Smoked Flagship or Flagship Reserve)

Ground nutmeg

Ground white pepper

1. Stir cornstarch and lemon juice together in a small bowl until dissolved. Set aside.

2. Combine sparkling wine or beer with shallots in a fondue pot or medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Let it warm for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
