Mountainraclette Recipes

RACLETTE

Steps:

• Have a knife ready and small plates to serve. Arrange potatoes, pickles, onions, caper berries, ham, and tomatoes on a serving platter. Place cheese on a clean stone or a heatproof board or tile as close to the fire as possible. As the top of the cheese melts, scrape off cheese onto potatoes and accompany with garnishes. It takes some time between servings for the cheese to continue to melt, so have some wine or kirsch handy to keep guests happy.

MOUNTAIN APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Mix eggs, oil, and sugar. Blend well.

• Bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours at 350°F until cake is set in the middle and is golden brown.
• Meanwhile combine brown sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a sauce pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Pour over cake while it is hot out of the oven (leave cake in the bundt pan).
• When cooled completely remove cake to a serving plate.
• For frosting, combine powdered sugar, mayonnaise, vanilla and milk until a smooth, slightly thick icing forms.
• Once cake is cooled drizzle icing over entire cake.
