Cast Iron Raclette

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs of Raclette cheese (or Gruyere), cut into roughly 1/4 in thick slices
• 1 Tbs vegetable oil
• Suggested accompaniments: steamed new or yukon gold potatoes, cornichons, pickled onions, roasted peppers, and hearty baguette. Pumpernickel is also a delicious, albeit a bit untraditional, complement to the nutty flavors of raclette

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Preheat 10 in cast iron skillet in hot oven for five minutes, then remove from heat and swirl 1 Tbs vegetable oil in skillet.

Place cheese slices onto skillet and broil in oven until melted with a layer of chewy “skin” on top.

Serve by sliding hot pieces of cheese over suggested accompaniments.
