Ingredients
For 4 servings

- 50 g (3 tbsp.) butter

A little extra...
- In Piedmont, the fondue is garnished with shaved white truffle just before serving.
Method
- Cut the cheese into small pieces and cover with milk. Refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Shortly before serving, place the fondue pot with the cheese and milk over a double boiler; heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted.
- Add the butter. Mix in the egg yolks one at a time. Careful: the water in the double boiler must not boil, otherwise the yolks will curdle. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the fondue pot to the center of the table and place on a warmer on very low flame. Plunge a cube of bread into the cheese mixture. Think about your diet tomorrow!
