Racler means “to scrape” in French, so this is cheese you heat and scrape. Or in German it’s Bratchäs, or “roasted cheese.” Heat the Racelette Cheese in front of your fireplace or over an electric frypan and scrap off some of the semi-melted cheese, or heat slices of the cheese on a skillet. Scrape the cheese onto the foods you are serving, traditionally: Wohlner’s French Bread slices, Hard Salami, steamed or boiled Yukon Gold Potatoes, hard salami, sliced ham, sliced Prosciutto d’ Parma, Wohlner’s Wieners, Gherkin pickles, pickled onions and baby corn, and not so traditonally grape tomatoes, raw or poached Asparagus and Broccoli, Town House Crackers, mushrooms, etc.
The accent in Raclette dining is on relaxed and sociable eating and drinking, the meal often running to several hours
