Changes: Traditional Raclette

Latest revision as of 04:47, 27 March 2020

Description

The world's most famous melting Cheese, raclette is made in the Alps on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The French version is perhaps a bit softer than Swiss raclette, but the two taste very similar. raclette has a semi-soft interior dotted with small holes and a rosy inedible rind. Eaten as a table Cheese, raclette has a smooth, creamy taste that is neither too salty nor sharp. However, it does tend to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. This Cheese is traditionally melted (a half wheel is placed in a fireplace, then the melted top surface is continuously scraped off) and layered atop boiled potatoes, pickles, fresh vegetables and sliced meats.

Ingredients

1 lb raclette cheese
24 new potatoes
pickled pearl onions
French cornichons
crusty French bread

Directions

Boil potatoes until tender, drain, cut into halves and set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 °F.
Trim rind off cheese and cut into 4 even pieces.
Place one piece onto each of four ovenproof plates.
Heat the cheese for a few minutes until thoroughly melted.
Mix cheese with potatoes, onions and cornichons.
Serve with crusty French bread.
