How is this prepared?
You have various options for preparing the raclette. Classically, the cheese is melted using a raclette oven. This consists of a support or base on which the cheese is placed. A grill lamp ensures that the cheese melts and can then simply be removed. Alternatively, you can use a raclette pan for a raclette grill or a fireproof version for the oven, which are small and usually intended for one person at a time. You can prepare food wonderfully in it. Of course, you can also use any other type of bakeware if you don't already own the ones mentioned above.
Raclette cheese with meat or vegetables
A particularly easy way to combine the cheese is to add any meat, sausage, bacon or ham after you have melted it. In principle, the cheese can be combined with any ingredient, provided you like it. Choose any fresh vegetables that you grill together with the cheese or separately on the raclette grill. So you can use the delicious cheese for a healthy diet.
