In breve

The dish in short

  • Fontina PDO without its rind, sliced thin and soaked overnight in milk in the fridge.
  • Nothing but Fontina, milk, butter, egg yolks and pepper: no salt, and no wine, unlike Swiss fondue.
  • Melted with cold butter over boiling water, stirring, before the yolks go in one at a time.
  • Its thickness set at the end with a little of the soaking milk, well heated.
  • Kept hot and fluid at the table in a fondue pot with its burner.
