    Categories: Cheese, Greens, Vegetables, Dips, Wine
    Yield: 3 Servings

    2 tb Unsalted butter
    3 cl Garlic; minced
    2/3 c Dry white wine
    4 c (1 lb) shredded Fontina
    1 1/2 c (6 oz) shredded Gruyere
    2 ts Cornstarch
    2 c Fine chopped spinach leaves
    1/4 c Heavy (whipping) cream
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 tb Minced fresh chives

    MMMMM----------------------OPTIONAL DIPPERS---------------------------
    Chilled cooked shrimp
    Steamed asparagus spears
    Zucchini; in matchsticks
    White mushrooms
    Cherry tomatoes
    Stuffed or shaped pasta;
    - such as rigatoni or
    - ravioli, cooked al dente
    Bread cubes; sourdough,
    - walnut, or a buttery
    - croissant
    Crackers or bread sticks

    In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low
    heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until
    it becomes golden brown around the edges. Be careful not
    to overcook the garlic, or it will become bitter. Add
    the wine.

    In a bowl, toss the cheeses with the cornstarch to coat.
    Add the cheeses to the pan, 1 cup at a time, stirring
    frequently until the cheese melts before adding the next
    cup. Add the spinach and the cream. Stir until the
    mixture becomes creamy and smooth. Season with salt and
    pepper.

    Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot over low heat, or
    pour into a warmed ceramic ramekin. Sprinkle with the
    minced chives. Serve immediately, with your choice of
    dippers.

    Makes 2-4 servings
