Raclette cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: mozzarella

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining meltiness.

cured meats

🥗Healthier: grilled vegetables

💰Cheaper: smoked tofu

Grilled vegetables provide flavor without meat.

pickles

🥗Healthier: fresh vegetables

💰Cheaper: sliced cucumbers

Fresh vegetables add crunch and freshness.

1

Slice cheese and place in raclette melting pan. Optionally brush a little butter onto the pan before adding the cheese.

2

Melt over candle flame (if provided with raclette pan), or place the pan on a flat-top griddle over low heat.

3

Heat slowly until the cheese melts. Avoid heating too quickly to maintain the desired melty texture.

4

When cheese is melted, gently slide it out of the pan over your favorite bite-sized foods such as baby potatoes, pickles, cold cuts, or anything else you love slathered in cheese.
