The raclette toast recipe, for lazy evenings

I don’t know how it’s done, but personally I’m as good at measuring spaghetti as I am at estimating the number of slices of raclette cheese per person.

As a result, I find myself eating pasta for the rest of the week or eating processed cheese ad nauseam. The worst thing is, in the case of raclette, having to take out the famous device for a new round at every meal.

If, like me, you are tired of cleaning pans, I have the solution: use what you have left of the raclette cheese to prepare delicious baked toasts, perfect for a very cold Sunday evening.

The ingredients for the raclette toasts (for 2 people)

• 4 slices of rustic bread or, depending on your taste, 4 slices of wholemeal bread
• 6 slices of raclette cheese (or more if you’re greedy)
• 4 slices of raw ham, Grisons meat or, in the vegetarian version, smoked vegetable ham.
• 2 onions
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• Salt, freshly ground pepper
• Some chopped walnuts (optional)

The raclette toast recipe

• Start by slicing the onions and fry them for 5 minutes over medium heat in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until they are golden brown. Reserve.
• Lightly grease your slices of bread with the rest of the olive oil.
• Add a quarter of the browned onion to each slice of bread, then a slice of ham and finally a slice (or a slice and a half) of raclette cheese. Salt, pepper, sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
• Cook at 200°C for 5 minutes or in grill mode. It’s ready !
