Raclette Sandwiches Recipe

This raclette sandwich is inspired by cozy European Christmas markets, featuring warm, melty raclette cheese poured over salty prosciutto or Italian salami and tucked into a crusty baguette. It’s rich, simple, and meant to be eaten hot, with tangy cornichons on the side to cut through all that cheese.

Ingredients

1 large Baguette
8-10 oz Raclette Cheese
6-8 oz. Proscioutto or Salami
1 tbsp Butter for pan (if using the stovetop)
Cornichons for pairing

Instructions

Prepare the baguette: Slice the baguette lengthwise and then cut into 4 equal sandwich portions. Lightly toast the cut sides if desired.
Melt the raclette cheese.
Grill method: Place raclette slices in a cast-iron skillet or grill-safe pan and set over direct heat. Heat until fully melted and bubbling.
Stovetop method: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the raclette slices and melt gently until smooth and pourable.
Assemble the sandwich: Layer prosciutto or Italian salami onto the bottom half of each baguette portion.
Finish with cheese: Carefully pour the hot melted raclette over the meat, allowing it to drip into the bread.
Serve: Close the sandwiches lightly and serve immediately with cornichons on the side.
