- 1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded fat-free Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon flour
- Cayenne, and black pepper, to taste
- French, or Italian, bread, cubed, for dipping

Heat wine and garlic cloves to boiling in medium saucepan; reduce heat and boil gently until reduced to 3/4 cup. Discard garlic.

Add cream cheese and cook over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Toss shredded cheese with flour; add to saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until melted. Season to taste with cayenne, and black pepper.

Serve in fondue pot or bowl with bread cubes (not included in nutritional data) for dipping.

Notes:
If fondue becomes too thick, it can be thinned with white wine, fat-free milk, or water.

Three-fourths cup fat-free milk can be substituted for the wine. Simmer with garlic 5 minutes, then proceed with recipe as above.
