🧺 Ingredients (base for 4 )
reblochon (slices)
firm-fleshed potatoes
assortment of cold meats
pickles & onions in vinegar
mushrooms (pan-fried, optional)
green salad (fresh)
pepper + nutmeg (optional)
💡 Tip: take your reblochon out 30 minutes beforehand, it will be even more tender and fragrant!
👩🍳 Preparation – step by step
Start with cold salted water , cook gently until tender (approximately 15 minutes depending on size), then drain and keep warm under a cloth.
Cut the reblochon into nice slices, prepare the charcuterie (raw ham, rosette, etc.), rinse the pickles and onions , and quickly fry the mushrooms if you want some.
Turn on your raclette machine (or preheat a brand new one !), over medium/high heat. You can lightly oil the pans to prevent sticking.
Melt the Reblochon in the bowls, add a little pepper (and nutmeg if you like), then coat the potatoes. Everyone digs in, coats, and crunches: it's party time! 🎉
