Ingredients
2 garlic, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup Beer Belgian
2 cups white wine
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pound gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
1 pound babble cheese, grated
2 tablespoons bourbon or brandy
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation
Rub inside of a large saucepan with sides of garlic. Finely grate garlic into saucepan; add beer and 1 1/2 cups wine and bring to boil over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup wine in a small bowl until no lumps remain, then whisk into liquid in saucepan.
Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce heat so mixture is at a very low simmer and very gradually add Gruyere and Babble, whisking until smooth (fully incorporate each batch of cheese before adding more).
