Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup steamed broccoli

- 1/2 cup pickled onions
- 1 cup cornichons (small pickles)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.
- Slice the Raclette cheese into pieces that fit your Raclette grill trays.
- Prepare the vegetables by steaming broccoli, grilling zucchini, and slicing the cherry tomatoes.
- Melt the cheese in the Raclette grill trays or under a broiler until bubbly and golden.
- Serve immediately by pouring the melted cheese over potatoes, bread, and vegetables.
- Enjoy with pickled onions and cornichons for added flavor!
Notes
- Choosing the Right Cheese: Not all Raclette cheese is vegetarian—check the label to ensure it’s made with microbial or vegetarian rennet.
- Alternative Cheese Options: If you can’t find vegetarian Raclette, try Fontina, Havarti, or Gouda as substitutes.
- Cooking Method: A Raclette grill works best, but you can also melt the cheese in a small oven-safe dish under a broiler.
- Customization: Add roasted bell peppers, asparagus, or even caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- Serving Tip: Serve with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied red wine for the perfect pairing!
