MELTED SWISS CHEESE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water 8 minutes. Add carrots and boil 7 minutes. Add broccoli and boil until all vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Drain vegetables. Arrange potatoes, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, beets and onions on large platter. Place bread in basket.
• Divide sliced cheese among 6 ovenproof plates. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles, about 10 minutes. Serve with vegetables and bread.

TUNA MELTS WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to coat. Place juice in a small bowl. Peel, seed, and chop avocado. Add avocado to juice; toss. Add avocado mixture and tomatoes to tuna mixture; toss well to combine. Place cheese evenly over cut sides of bread, and broil for 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Place 1 bread slice, cheese side up, on each of 4 plates, and divide tuna mixture evenly among bread slices.

RACLETTE (MELTED CHEESE WITH POTATOES AND PICKLES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Heat four 10-inch oven-proof dinner plates in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. To ensure the success of the raclettes, the plates must be very hot.
• When ready to serve, remove the plates from the oven. Working as quickly as possible, arrange four slices of cheese in the center of each plate, overlapping them slightly. The cheese should begin to sizzle once it comes into contact with the plate. At once, place the four plates on the floor of the oven. Let cheese melt in the oven for about 2 minutes, being careful not to let it brown. Remove from the oven, place a potato and one or two gherkins and pickled onions on the side of each plate and serve at once. Serve each plate on a service plate to prevent scorching the table.
