Oven Raclette

Small cast iron or nonstick skillets make it easy to serve raclette for a group. For this party, we warmed individual cheese portions in 3 1/2-inch cast iron skillets. Tie a towel around the handle of each skillet to warn guests they're hot. Serve with roasted winter root vegetables, crusty bread, and cornichons.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is softened but still slightly firm in center, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a ventilation fan while baking; the cheese is pungent!

Cook's Notes:

Opt for cheese from Switzerland or France. Try Appenzeller and Emmental, or for milder flavor, Fontina. The firmer the cheese, the longer the melting time needed.

If you love kitchen gadgets and you're not afraid of commitment, try an electric raclette grill. Raclette grills let you melt individual servings in nonstick metal trays while cooking meat or veggies on a flat-top surface.
