Servings: persons

1 garlic clove, halved
1 lb imported gruyere or 1 lb emmenthaler cheese, coarsely grated
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons chopped chives
34-1 cup very dry white wine
1 pinch nutmeg
2 ounces kirschwasser kirsch (cherry brandy)
salt and pepper
French bread, cubed

1
Toss the grated cheese with the flour in a bowl.
2
Set aside.
3
Rub a 2 quart pan with garlic.
4
Over medium to medium-high heat, melt the butter, add chives and saute for 1 minute.
5
Add wine [I have gotten the best results with Fish Eye pinot grigio] and bring just to boiling point - but DO NOT BOIL.
6
Keeping this just below simmering, add the grated cheese slowly by small handfuls.
7
Stir in 1 direction continuously as each handful melts into the liquid.
8
If the mixture should look like it's starting to boil, simply take the pot off the heat for a minute or so.
9
After all the cheese is melted, remove pot from heat.
10
Add salt and pepper and just 3 strokes or so (a dash) of freshly grated nutmeg.
11
Add kirsch and serve immediately with cubed bread.
12
Tips: the chives can be omitted; swiss cheese can be substituted but it is MUCH less tasty - use the best quality cheese that you can find; you can also use any bread that's handy.
