Our dietitians' favouriteOriginating in Switzerland – where a traditional meal of raclette includes cold cuts, potatoes and a host of condiments – Raclette is a cheese designed specifically for melting. We love tradition, but couldn’t resist sharing these novel ways to enjoy Canadian Raclette’s distinct unctuosity.

Preparation
Raclette grill method
Heat raclette grill to medium-high. Heat 4 pans under the grill.
Melt ½ tsp (2 mL) butter in each pan. Break an egg into each pan and top with cheese. Cook for 4–5 minutes or until desired doneness.
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter on the grill. Cook vegetables and grill baguette slices.
Place 2 baguette slices topped with 1 egg and cheese on each of 4 plates. Add grilled vegetables and serve.
Oven method
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Butter 4 gratin dishes and place 2 baguette slices in each dish. Break an egg into each dish and top with cheese.
Cook for 7–10 minutes or until desired doneness. Melt some butter in a skillet on medium heat and cook vegetables.
Remove gratin dishes from the oven and top with vegetables; serve. Cooked, crumbled bacon can be sprinkled on top just before serving, if desired.
