Step 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together Milk, garlic, flour and mustard. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for about 7 min or until starting to simmer and thicken. Reduce heat to low.
Step 2
Add one small handful of cheese at a time to the pan, whisking constantly, adding the next handful when cheese is melted. After the last addition of cheese, cook, still whisking, for 3 to 5 min or until slightly thickened and silky smooth.
Step 3
Place saucepan on a heat-proof trivet on the table or, if desired, transfer to a ceramic fondue pot over a flame to keep warm. Serve with vegetables, chicken and toast cubes for dipping, using fondue forks, if desired.
