List of Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed hot red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
4 ounces sharp Provolone cheese, shredded (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 ounces freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (1/2 cup)
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Recipe

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano and hot pepper flakes. Stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. In a medium bowl, toss the cheeses with the cornstarch.

Stir in the cheeses, a handful at a time, into the saucepan, stirring until the first addition is melted before adding another. Let the fondue come to a bare simmer, but do not boil.

Transfer cheese to a fondue pot and keep warm over a fondue burner. Serve immediately with the dipping ingredients of your choice.
