Sacrilegious Swiss Fondue is a contemporary twist to the classic Swiss cheese fondue recipe. The recipe uses three types of cheese, including aged cheddar, gruyere, and mozzarella. However, the cheese is cultured with non-animal rennet, which makes the recipe suitable for vegetarians. The unique name of the dish comes from its unconventional blend of flavors that come together beautifully. The recipe is very reminiscent of a classic Swiss cheese fondue, but the use of aged cheddar adds a boldness to the dish that is sure to be a hit among cheese lovers.

Instructions

1.	Rub the clove of garlic around the inside of a 3-quart fondue pot.
2.	In a large bowl, toss the grated cheese with the flour until well coated.
3.	In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the dry white wine over medium-low heat until it starts to steam.
4.	Gradually add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly in a figure-eight pattern until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
5.	Stir in the dry mustard and continue to cook the fondue over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
