Step 1

To make the fondue, add the cubed cheese to a bowl and toss with the cornstarch and cayenne.

Step 2

Rub inside of a fondue pot with garlic; discard garlic. Pour the wine, brandy and truffle oil (if using) into the fondue pot, and place over medium-low heat. When liquid starts to bubble, start adding the cheese by the handful, stirring until melted and combined. Season with nutmeg and pepper. Keep over low heat until ready to serve.

Step 3

To make the buttered croissants, combine the butter, garlic and basil in a small bowl, spread both sides of the croissants with the butter. Heat a skillet over medium heat, once hot, add the toast and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly toasted and garlic fragrant. Flip and cook another 2-4 minutes.

Step 4

Serve immediately with the fondue + assorted veggies.
