- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 4 ounce fresh mushrooms finely minced
- 2 Tbsp. chopped shallots
- 1 c. dry white wine
- 3/4 lb Fontina d'Aosta - (to 1) rind removed, and cut into small cubes - (abt 3 c.)

Directions
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan heat the butter over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, till golden and most of their liquid has evaporated, about 5 min. Add in the shallots and cook till softened, about 1 minute. Add in the wine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed fontina with the cornstarch and toss to mix well. Add in the cheese-cornstarch mix to the saucepan in 3 additions, stirring constantly and adding more cheese only as the previous batch has completely melted. Stir in the grated Truffled Pecorino Romano and allow the fondue to come to a bare simmer but don't allow to boil. Season with pepper and transfer to a fondue pot for serving.
- Serve, with dipping items of choice, attractively arranged in separate bowls.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
