Step 1
Rub the inside of a heavy pot with the 1 garlic clove, then discard the clove. Add 1.5 cups white wine and heat over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Toss the 400g Gruyère and 200g Emmental with 2 tbsp cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 3
Gradually add the cheese mixture to the hot wine, a handful at a time, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern until each addition melts, about 5-7 minutes total.
Step 4
Stir in 2 tbsp kirsch and 0.25 tsp nutmeg. Continue stirring until the fondue is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes more.
Step 5
Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot set over a low flame. Serve with 1 loaf of crusty bread cut into bite-size cubes for dipping.
Step 6
If the fondue becomes too thick, stir in a splash of warm white wine to loosen it.
