The Easiest Way to Enjoy Raclette Without a Grill


Bonjour,

Ever heard of raclette? It’s more than just cheese dish - it’s a French (and Swiss) tradition! Raclette is a semi-hard Alpine cheese famous for its incredible melting qualities. Traditionally, it is served warmed and scraped over boiled potatoes, pickles, and cured meats in a communal setting. Think fondue’s rustic cousin!

But here’s the good news: you don’t need a fancy raclette grill to enjoy its comforting, melty magic. Enter my Raclette Sandwich - my quick and easy way to savour this cheesy goodness.

  • Great for Leftovers: Got cheese, caramelized onions, or cured meats from another meal? This is their moment to shine.
  • Flavour Explosion: Crispy sourdough + gooey raclette = pure perfection.
  • Pairs Beautifully: Add soup or salad, and you’ve got a simple yet satisfying lunch or dinner.

Brilliant! Why I did not think about it before? We loved it and added some pickles in it, it was amazing!

Special ingredient of this recipe: a break! Moi aussi... It’s Thursday, I’m tired, and there’s another dinner to prepare. And as I write this? Frozen pizzas are in the oven. Because tonight, I just don’t have it in me and that’s okay. I used to think every meal had to be homemade, balanced, and just right. But you know what I’ve learned? Some nights, the best thing you can do is… not cook at all. Yes, we could push through, but—doesn’t our body and mind deserve a break? I think yes. Here’s...
