Raclette, a new individual way of preparing it.

Raclette:

It's been around since Medieval Times in the Mountainous Regions of Switzerland and France.

Raclette is a dish indigenous to parts of Switzerland. The Raclette Cheese Round is heated, either in front of a Fire or by a Special Machine, then scraped onto Diners' Plates; the term Raclette derives from the French word racler, meaning "to scrape", a reference to the fact that the melted cheese must be scraped from the unmelted part of the Cheese onto the Plate.

Traditionally the melting happens in front of an open fire with the big piece of Cheese facing the heat. One then regularly scrapes off the melting side. It is accompanied by small firm Potatoes, Gherkin Pickles (French Cornichons),  Meat, such as thin slices of Ham or Prosciutto and Pearl Onions.

A modern way of serving Raclette involves an Electric Table-Top Grill with small pans, known as Coupelles, in which to melt slices of Raclette Cheese. Generally the Grill is surmounted by a Hot Plate or Griddle. The Cheese is brought to the table sliced, accompanied by platters of boiled or steamed Potatoes, other Vegetables and Charcuterie. These are then mixed with Potatoes and topped with Cheese in the small, wedge-shaped Coupelles that are placed under the Grill to melt and brown the Cheese. Alternatively, Slices of Cheese may be melted and simply poured over food on the plate. The emphasis in Raclette dining is on relaxed and sociable Eating and Drinking, the meal often running to several hours. French and other European Supermarkets generally stock both the Grill Apparatus and ready-sliced Cheese and Charcuterie selections, especially around Christmas. Restaurants also provide Raclette evenings for parties of diners.

We first experienced Raclette in France with our friends. We returned home and bought a Raclette Grill. We've also had some of our best Raclette in Borough Market, London.

The following photographs are from London's Borough Market. It's one of our favorite places to visit in London.

It's a very social event to share Raclette.

This version is quite different. It make individual servings. We make this when it's just the two of us and not a group of friends of family.

Boil Whole Potatoes.
Slice off the top.
Hollow out the potato.
Filled with French Fry sized pieces of Raclette Cheese and a few Pearl Onions.
Wrap the exterior with Bacon. (I use a vegetarian bacon that's been brushed with some Olive Oil for mine)
Stand them up in a Roasting Pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes.
Transfer to a serving Platter.

Serve Garnished with Sliced Cornichons and Pearl Onions.

Enjoy!

Individual Nutella Soufflés

I discovered Nutella many years ago in France. The children spread it on toast for breakfast. I like it in Cookies, Pastries, Cakes and of course, Crêpes.  It can also be enjoyed in a very simple Soufflé.
Minimal ingredients with a delicious Chocolate/Hazelnut flavor.

Traditional French Crêpes filled with Nutella.
Corner Crêpes stands in Paris serve hot, fresh  Nutella Crêpes.

These are the Ramekins I use.
They're 3 1/4" in Diameter and 1 1/2" Deep.
I love the Terra Cotta color for these Soufflés.

Nutella:
Pietro Ferrero, a pastry chef in Piedmont, Italy, ingeniously created a sweet paste made from Hazelnuts, Sugar and Cocoa. He shaped it into a loaf that could be sliced, served it on Bread and called it Giandujot, after a famous local Carnival Character. On May 14th, 1946, the Ferrero Company was founded.

Nutella Soufflé
This recipe makes 2 individual Soufflés.
Just know that you can't double or triple the recipe for a Soufflé.
Make additional recipes of the batter.

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2 individual Ramekins.

1/2 C Nutella
2 Eggs, separated.
1 tsp Granulated Sugar

Softened Butter
Baking Cocoa Powder ( I only use Rodelle)
Butter the Ramekins and dust them with Cocoa Powder. Shake out the excess Powder.

In a Medium Mixing Bowl:
Nutella
Egg Yolks
Whisk well.

In another Medium Mixing Bowl:
Egg Whites
Whisk until they just begin to foam.
Add:
Sugar
Whisk to Stiff Peak.

Fold 1/3 of the Egg Whites into the Nutella Mixture until well incorporated.
Add:
Remaining Egg Whites and gently Fold until incorporated and Creamy Smooth.

Divide the batter evenly into the Ramekins.
Wipe the Rims clean. It helps the Soufflé rise.

Bake for 15 - 17 minutes.

Serve Hot

Enjoy!

Individual Green Bean Casserole

I love Green Bean Casserole. It's such an Iconic American Recipe from the 1950's. We've enjoyed it at Thanksgiving since the 50's. 

Individual Green Bean Casserole
This recipe make 12 individual servings in either 2 - 6 C Muffin Tins or 1 - 12 C Muffin Tin. You can also make it in a Popover Tin, just add a bit more of the Crust to fill it up the sides. 

Make sure the crust cup dough is consistent in thickness. You can blind bake the Cups for 10 - 15 minutes to make sure they're  done and crispy. I recommend this.

This makes a lot of filling so I just Spoon the extra into a small Casserole Dish, top it with  additional Crushed Ritz Crackers and Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Baked!

Baked in a 9" X 13" Pan.

at every Thanksgiving Dinner.

A Food Processor
Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees.

2 Sleeves of Ritz Crackers (set aside 6 Crackers)

2 C French Fried Onions, divided.
4 C Chopped Green Beans (Fresh or Frozen, thawed) Do not use Canned Green Beans.
1 1/2 C Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

In a Food Processor:
All of the Crackers (Except the 6 Reserved)
1 C Fried Onions (Reserve the other Cup)
Pulse until it forms fine Crumbs.

Add:
1 C of the Condensed Soup.
Pulse until well combined.
It should have a Pliable consistency. (if too wet, add a small amount of crushed crackers.)

Press and Mold it on the bottom and up the sides to form a Cup.

In a Large Mixing Bowl:
