Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the vinegar with the cornflour and place in a heatproof bowl with the cheeses. Set over a pan of boiling water. Slowly melt the cheese, stirring occasionally. When it's nearly melted, add the crème fraîche and a little black pepper, if you like. Lower the heat and keep warm.
  2. To make croutons, toss the bread in the oil and a little seasoning on a baking sheet, then bake for 10-15 mins until golden and crisp.
  3. To serve, put the cheese fondue on a large platter and arrange the croutons, veg and salamis alongside it.

    Very disappointing cheese separated, very greasy, not saucy as picture suggests. Very unusual as good food recipes normally always work out well. Won't try that again!

    Cheddar and Gruyère do not work together, Cheddar is greasy when melted, e.g. Welsh rarebit or cheese on toast. The cheese will separate if not kept hot and bubbling. What happened to the fondue burner in this recipe??
