Raclette toastie

A classic combo of cheese, saucisson and cornichons to transport you to the Alps. Spreading mayo on the outside of a toastie before frying is a great trick for a crunchy, golden finish. Be prepared for some serious cheese pulls. See more of our epic sandwich recipes.

Ingredients

  • 4 large slices No.1 White Sourdough Bread
  • 200g pack Emmi Raclette Classic Sliced Cheese
  • 70g pack French Saucisson Sec with Herbes de Provence
  • 10 cornichons, halved lengthways
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • English mustard (optional), to serve

Method

  1. Lay out the bread slices so the curved edges match up when pressed together into sandwiches. On the base pieces, layer 3 slices of cheese, followed by a layer of saucisson, the remaining cheese, then the cornichons. Top with the second slices of bread and spread the tops with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

  2. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan over a medium-low heat, then carefully invert the sandwiches into it with the mayo on the bottom. Cook, pressing down, for 8-9 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden and the cheese is melting.

  3. Spread the tops with mayo, then carefully flip with a fish slice. Cook for 6-7 minutes more, until the cheese is oozing out and the undersides are deep golden. (You could also use a toastie machine.) Cut in half and serve with English mustard, if you like.

Cook’s tip

Simple swap
To make this vegetarian, swap the saucisson for a handful of salt and pepper crisps. Cheese and potato is a match made in heaven.
