Prep your dipping ingredients. Cook your ingredients and cut into bite sized cubes.

For a faint garlic flavor, slice the garlic clove in half and coat the bottom of the fondue pot with it. (For a more intense garlic flavor, mince the garlic and add it in step 3.)

Light the burner and place the pot on top. Now add in the cheese fondue.

Stir until the cheese fondue has melted completely and no more lumps remain.

Add in the paprika, black pepper and fondue spice (and minced garlic, if using). Stir until everything is well combined.

Start dipping! Serve the fondue alongside your dipping ingredients. Be sure to keep stirring the fondue throughout dipping, to keep it homogenized.

Optional: Once your fondue pot is almost empty, turn up the heat slightly and let the leftover cheese get crispy. Break the cheese disk into even pieces and share.
