Raclette of cheese, potatoes, pickles and bread
2 servings
30 minutes
Raclette is a cozy and heartfelt dish that comes from the mountainous regions of Europe, especially Switzerland. Traditionally made by shepherds melting cheese on stones by the fire and pouring it over boiled potatoes, the modern version simplifies this process while keeping the flavor rich and intense. Creamy and slightly nutty raclette melts into tender potatoes, crispy bread, and tangy pickles, creating a harmony of textures and tastes. The dish's charm lies in its warm, friendly atmosphere; it's often served among family or friends, turning mealtime into a shared enjoyment of food. It's the perfect treat for cold evenings when you crave something cozy and warming.
