Ingredients

• 400 grams Low-fat Raclette cheese (or a low-fat melting cheese alternative)
• 800 grams Baby potatoes
• 12 pieces Cornichons (small pickles)
• 12 pieces Pickled pearl onions
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 150 grams Cooked lean turkey or chicken breast (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the baby potatoes clean under running water. Leave the skins on. Boil them in lightly salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside, keeping warm.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, clean and slice the button mushrooms. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 3

Arrange the cornichons, pickled pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms, and sliced cooked lean turkey or chicken breast (if using) on a serving platter.

Step 4

Slice the low-fat Raclette cheese into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, so it melts easily. Set aside on a separate plate.

Step 5

Preheat your Raclette grill or a table-top grill. If you do not have a Raclette grill, preheat your oven broiler to medium-high heat and use oven-safe small dishes for melting the cheese.

Step 6

Place the ingredients for grilling, such as the mushrooms and any other desired vegetables, on the hot grill. Let them cook until lightly browned and tender.

Step 7

Place a slice of cheese onto the Raclette grill tray (or oven-safe dish) and heat until bubbly and melted.

Step 8

To serve, scrape the melted cheese over a warm baby potato or grilled vegetables using a spatula or knife. Repeat as desired with remaining cheese and ingredients.

Step 9

Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your Low Fat Traditional Raclette warm with all the accompaniments!
