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
