Raclette Recipes

The traditional Swiss raclette experience involves eating melted cheese along with simple staple ingredients such as potatoes, gherkins, and dried meats. For a more classic North American experience, the Swissmar raclette can be used to prepare breakfast for the entire family or to host an intimate dinner party. The main attraction at a raclette party is the variety of ingredients and individual dishes that each guest can prepare in his or her raclette dish. Feel free to get creative and make up your own meal as you go!
