Skillet Raclette (Melted and Scraped Swiss Cheese) Recipe
Skillet Raclette (Melted and Scraped Swiss Cheese)
Serves 4
Raclette is an Alpine cheese that's traditionally heated next to fire and scraped off in layers onto new potatoes. For our version, we melt slices of raclette in a cast iron skillet and then scoop the bubbling cheese onto plates to eat with a variety of accompaniments.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound small new potatoes, boiled or roasted until tender
- 8 ounces cornichon pickles
- 2 crisp apples, sliced
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1 pound broccoli, blanched
- 1 pound Raclette cheese, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- OPTIONAL:
- Grainy mustard and chutneys to complement the cheese
Directions:
- Arrange accompaniments on a serving platter.
- Place one layer of cheese into small, cast-iron skillet or casserole dish. Heat over medium heat until bubbling or bake at 375°F 10 to 12 minutes.
- Carefully transfer hot skillet to table. Place skillet on trivet and be sure to put a hot pad on handle so no one touches it by mistake.
- Use a knife or spatula to scoop out hot cheese onto each plate for your guests. When cheese is gone, heat more.

“We enjoyed this as a simple and satisfying "indoor picnic" after christmas. no special equipment needed, just used our cast iron skillet.
added some slices of holiday ham for mini open-face sandwiches alongside, otherwise kept it the same as pictured. very easy and light clean up after the excess of the holiday. may become a post holiday tradition!”
