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.

“I am swiss raclette is very traditional in switzerland i didn’t know that i could melt the cheese in a cast iron pan thanks for the tip and bravo you got it 100 % right potatoes etc can wait to do it thanks”

“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!”
